Science and SocietyScience Journalism
Science journalism is an important facet of the public’s relationship with science.
Accessible, accurate and critical reporting of science and technology is crucial to society – from the public’s understanding and appreciation of science to government officials’ ability to make informed decisions. For years we have supported journalists globally through workshops and webinars to learn critical skills that enhance their profession and to exchange knowledge and experiences with each other. And we celebrate excellence in science journalism with the AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Awards.

AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Awards
The AAAS Science Journalism Awards honor distinguished reporting on science by professional journalists throughout the world. The awards, an internationally recognized measure of excellence in science journalism, go to individuals (rather than institutions, publishers or employers) for coverage of the sciences, engineering and mathematics. The awards were endowed by the foundation through two gifts in 2009 and 2015.
