Science Journalism is gaining importance globally. If you are in this area or planning to enter this profession, then the Handbook of Science Journalism is the right choice for a brief introduction to science journalism and for theoretical and practical advice and guidance on its various aspects.

It is intended to be a useful companion to professional and wannabe science journalists/writers/editors, and students/teachers of science journalism or science communication.
