Science journalism for teens

Today I created a Prezi for young students with tips on how to do research for journalism. This is for a group of teens working on a project for the launch of @KMBTweets’s new website Mad Science Magazine - a sister site to Better Bio.

“…the most active seekers of mobile and online health and science news are Black and Latino parents and teen residents of inner-city neighborhoods, some even living alongside life science innovation districts. It is these untapped early adopters that BetterBio seeks to involve.” - BetterBio website.

Founder Khadijah Britton told me: “BetterBio is supposed to be for the parents, MadSciMag for the teens”. In both cases the mission is to involve people that aren’t traditionally catered for by the media to generate their own science news content.

Here’s the Prezi:
