The programme and schedule for the UKCSJ24 are still being constructed, but you can check the sessions and speakers already confirmed. From artificial intelligence fears and tools to effective strategies to increase diversity among journalists, sources and stories, the conference hopes to address its headline’ ‘A changing profession in a challenging world’. The future of science journalism, the reconstruction of the science media industry, writing articles and books, pitching, and meeting the editors, will also be in the programme.
