About the NSJ

On the verge of something absolutely possible ... that is exactly the feeling we have here at the offices of the New Science Journalism (NSJ) Project.

The NSJ Project is an independent science news magazine publishing news and views from the next generation of science journalists.

The initiative was penciled on to paper in 2008 as a means to address: (a) issues concerning the future of science journalism and science communication, (b) feverishly fast advances in internet technology, and (c) critical changes in the world around us.

The NSJ Project is endeavouring to utilise as much intelligent internet media technology as possible and combine it with stringent morals of professionalism, and then bring together as many students from around the world as possible to produce a globally respected online science news magazine.

The role of a journalist in investigating and disseminating scientific information to the mass public is still paramount. What we have done here is leaped forward into a journey of exploring the future of science journalism, science in the Internet media, and the greater public understanding of how the world will communicate and think about science in 10, 20, 50 years time!

Collaboration and community

These are operative words within our strategy and communication documents.

The NSJ Project is an online community taking on board Web 2.0's global collaborative capabilities to unite students, the media and science worldwide.

While some international media are reducing their science news services, it is within the NSJ Mission Statement to provide new opportunities where future media professionals can strategically direct their career into science journalism or science communication.

Correspondents for the NSJ online magazine can be students of media, science, politics, law, education, engineering, etc, etc, and their news can be independent or collaborative efforts.

While we are encouraging students to use this Project to foster and sharpen journalism skills, we also accept news submissions from the general public.
