520 |a "A practical manual for everyone 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. For students of journalism and science communication, but also for professional journalists, for 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 actually get science in all of its complexity across"--  |c Provided by publisher
