The British Science Association Media Fellowships are intended to create a greater awareness and understanding of the workings of the media among practising scientists, social scientists, clinicians and engineers. The Fellowships provide placements working with a national press, broadcast or internet journalist. During placements of between 3 and 8 weeks Fellows learn to work within the conditions and constraints of the media to produce accurate and well informed pieces about developments in science. Applications must be submitted by midnight on 10 March 2009. Details of how to apply and a list of FAQ can be found at the website below.
