In a democratic society, science and scientific communities should be subject to a rigorous process of dialogue and critique. However, many journalists and science writers covering science have tended to regard themselves solely as translators and disseminators of scientific knowledge. Scientific institutions have, for their part, become increasingly skillful in shaping the image of science in the public. This course draws upon studies of how the media represent science, scientific uncertainty and risk. The students will be encouraged to explore other ways of representing science and science related issues in journalistic work and science writing.

The course will be based on two week-long gatherings at Oslo Metropolitan University, including lectures, discussions and group-work
The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:
The presentation of a text from the reading list is approximately 10 minutes in length. The group presentation from each group is approximately 15 minutes in length.
The purpose of the course requirements is to help strengthen the students’ skills in critical analysis of science journalism and communication, and to help strengthen the students’ reflection on theoretical issues and/or practical challenges for science journalism /communication that are presented in texts from the reading list.
Both presentations must be approved before the student can sit for the exam. If the course requirements are not approved, or in case of illness or other valid reasons for absence, the student may once and within a set deadline hand in an improved individual written version of work requirement 1 or work requirement 2. The written version of each requirement consists of approximately 600 words. If the student does not meet the set deadline(s), or if the course requirements are not approved, the student loses the possibility to hand in the paper/hold the presentation, and thereby loses to right to sit for the exam.
There are no mandatory activities in the course, with the exception of the above mentioned work requirements.
For the main assessment, the students may choose one of two individual term papers.
