Science journalist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A science journalist (or science writer) is a journalist who specializes in writing about science topics, and thus exercises science journalism. Due to this combination, a science journalist needs to be proficient in two areas: as a journalist, he must write well enough for magazines and newspapers, and as an amateur scientist, or at least as a dedicated learner capable of following complex science and explaining it in simple terms.
Science journalism can also be categorized as science writing.
