| Headline: | Science writing network launched in Malawi |
| Description: | Charles Mkoka, SciDev.Net: Malawian journalists have launched a network to promote home-grown science reporting, which they see as central to their country's socio-economic development. Science has had minimal coverage in Malawi until now. The Coalition of Journalists on Environment and Agriculture (COJEA) has been created to help fill what its chairperson, Raphael Mweninguwe, sees as a widening gap in Malawian journalism. COJEA will make training available to journalists in science-related aspects of some of the country’s key development issues. It will also offer forums, group discussions, exchange programmes with other networks regionally and internationally, and field trips for journalists to areas of prime scientific interest, or where research of national importance is being done. 'It is of paramount importance that science journalists acquaint themselves [with their subject] in order to report professionally,' Mweninguwe told SciDev.Net. |
