Covering Science in the Context of Conflict
"War is a science story. War creates untold humanitarian and environmental crises, disrupts research, and destroys scientific infrastructure—yet these critical science stories often remain undertold. To find and tell science stories from regions in turmoil, journalists have to dig for unique angles, gather and verify context about conflicts, track down and protect sources, and, above all, stay safe. To find a science angle, track the destruction of scientific facilities, highlight researchers who are displaced or experiments that are disrupted, or uncover long-term health impacts of warfare."
