As environmental and climate crises grow more complex, journalists are evolving to meet the challenge. Across Europe, reporters are increasingly working alongside scientists - not just as sources but as collaborators- to strengthen their investigations, boost their methodologies, and create more impact. This shift is the core of “expert-reviewed journalism” and this panel will explore how it actually works in practice.
Drawing from investigative projects they were part of, three seasoned journalists will share how journalism-scientist partnerships are built, how trust is established, and how the roles are defined so the day-to-day work is fruitful and dream projects are done. The speakers will discuss practical realities, nerdy secrets and their lessons learned: how they managed data and workflows, navigated tensions between disciplines, and developed shared work practices where both sides work to reach the finish line while respecting each other’s professional lanes.
Some of the projects that will be mentioned in this talk:
