A practical manual for anyone who wants to turn scientific facts
into gripping science stories, this book provides an overview of
story elements and structure, guidance on where to locate them in
scientific papers and a step-by-step guide to applying storytelling
techniques to writing about science. In this book, Martin W. Angler
outlines basic storytelling elements to show how and where
fledgling science storytellers can find them in scientific output.
Journalistic techniques like selection through news values and
narrative interviews are covered in dedicated chapters. A variety
of writing techniques and approaches are presented as a way of
framing science stories in ways that are informative and compelling
in different media - from short films to news articles. Practical
examples, selected interviews and case studies complement each
chapter, with exercises and experimentation suggestions included
for deeper understanding. Review questions at the end of each
chapter cement the newly gained knowledge to make sure readers
absorb it, with links to articles and online tools inviting further
reading. A valuable resource for students of journalism and science
communication as well as professional journalists, scientists and
scientists-in-training who want to engage with the public or simply
improve their journal papers. This book is a one-stop shop on
science storytelling with a clear focus on providing practical
techniques and advice on how to thrive as science writers and
communicate science in all of its complexity.
