Description
An ERC-funded program, FRONTIERS places science journalists in research groups. For 3-5 months, the journalists are invited to closely follow the groups work, follow their own interests by independently completing a journalistic project, and take a deep dive into one particular topic. While only early-, mid- and late-career journalists can apply, research institutions or groups can signal their interest by joining a host database or by encouraging pre-existing journalist contacts to apply. I will report and share experiences from my own Frontiers fellowship, for which I spent four months at the University of Copenhagen, and offer some food for thought about broad reach versus close relationships with media.
