Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered the public interest in science, and thus the need to report on scientific facts and information correctly has increased. While the pandemic has posed challenges to working journalists across the globe, problems for Pakistani journalists continue to grow. The country's journalists struggle not only to report on the pandemic but also to report on other scientific matters ranging from environmental issues to technological developments. This indicates the timely need for journalists' expert knowledge to report on science. Nevertheless, science journalism research is in its nascent stage in Pakistan, and there is no prior national study that analyzes science reporting in relation to knowledge-based journalism. Therefore, informed by the conceptual model of knowledge-based journalism, this study contributes a qualitative analysis of challenges that hinder the practice of knowledge-based journalism for science reporting within the context of Pakistan. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

与科学同步:巴基斯坦基于知识的新闻报道对科学的挑战

新冠肺炎大流行引发了公众对科学的兴趣，因此，正确报告科学事实和信息的必要性增加了。尽管疫情给全球在职记者带来了挑战，但巴基斯坦记者面临的问题仍在继续增加。该国的记者不仅努力报道疫情，还努力报道从环境问题到技术发展等其他科学问题。这表明，及时需要记者的专业知识来报道科学。尽管如此，巴基斯坦的科学新闻研究仍处于萌芽阶段，此前没有任何国家研究将科学报道与知识型新闻联系起来进行分析。因此，根据知识型新闻的概念模型，本研究对巴基斯坦背景下阻碍知识型新闻在科学报道中的实践的挑战进行了定性分析。©2023 Informa UK Limited，交易名称为Taylor&Francis Group。

期刊介绍： ournalism Practice provides opportunities for reflective, critical and research-based studies focused on the professional practice of journalism. The emphasis on journalism practice does not imply any false or intellectually disabling disconnect between theory and practice, but simply an assertion that Journalism Practice’s primary concern is to analyse and explore issues of practice and professional relevance. Journalism Practice is an intellectually rigorous journal with all contributions being refereed anonymously by acknowledged international experts in the field. An intellectually lively, but professionally experienced, Editorial Board with a wide-ranging experience of journalism practice advises and supports the Editor. Journalism Practice is devoted to: the study and analysis of significant issues arising from journalism as a field of professional practice; relevant developments in journalism training and education, as well as the construction of a reflective curriculum for journalism; analysis of journalism practice across the distinctive but converging media platforms of magazines, newspapers, online, radio and television; and the provision of a public space for practice-led, scholarly contributions from journalists as well as academics. Journalism Practice’s ambitious scope includes: the history of journalism practice; the professional practice of journalism; journalism training and education; journalism practice and new technology; journalism practice and ethics; and journalism practice and policy.
