In a time when powerful public and private institutions are bowing to political pressure—softening or even abandoning their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion and scrubbing their communications of language reflecting those values—it feels necessary to say something I never thought I’d need to: The Open Notebook's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is core to our mission, and that will never change.

About us
OUR MISSION The Open Notebook is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is widely regarded as the leading online source of training and educational materials for journalists who cover science. We are dedicated to fostering a supportive, diverse, and inclusive global community that enables reporters and editors who cover science to learn and thrive. Through our comprehensive library of articles on the craft of science journalism and our extensive training and mentoring programs, we empower journalists at all experience levels, around the world, to tell impactful, engaging stories about science. OUR VISION We envision a world in which journalists are fully empowered to tell impactful stories about science that contribute to a more informed and engaged society, combat misinformation, and enable communities to navigate the complexities of our ever-changing world. WHY WE'RE HERE At no other time in human history has the meaning of what constitutes a fact—a valid piece of knowledge—been more at risk than it is today. Journalists’ ability to report stories about science clearly, accurately, and engagingly has never been more critical for public understanding of science and for a well-functioning democracy. Journalists who cover science play a crucial and demanding role in society—they must not only explain the newest advances in scientific research, but also provide critical context and analysis on issues ranging from climate change to infectious disease to artificial intelligence; shed light on the human beings behind the research; and serve as watchdogs to help ensure the continued freedom and integrity of the scientific enterprise. To fulfill such a role takes skill. The Open Notebook is dedicated to helping journalists cultivate fundamental skills necessary for covering science and to helping foster a more inclusive community of voices covering science.

En mayo de 2024, Cision encuestó a 3.016 periodistas y el 45% de ellos afirmó haber empezado a utilizar herramientas de IA generativa al menos “un poco”. Y según una encuesta de The Associated Press de abril de 2024, el porcentaje de periodistas que afirmaron que ellos o su organización habían utilizado IA generativa es aún mayor: casi el 74%. Los periodistas que se educan sobre las herramientas de la IA pueden tomar mejores decisiones para su trabajo y su audiencia, afirma Megan Murphy, de la Online News Association. Estos consejos de Emma Gometz pueden ayudar a los periodistas científicos a empezar a separar la promesa de la IA generativa de sus trampas. #TONenEspañol https://lnkd.in/g99-wuci

In May 2024, Cision surveyed 3,016 journalists and 45 percent of them said they had started using generative AI tools at least “a little.” And according to an April 2024 The Associated Press survey, the fraction of journalists who said they or their organization have used generative AI is even higher—at almost 74 percent. Journalists who educate themselves about AI tools can be empowered to make better decisions for their work and their audience, Online News Association's Megan Murphy says. This tipsheet from Emma Gometz can help science journalists begin to separate the promise of generative AI from the pitfalls. https://lnkd.in/gGGR_9TP

Una de las razones por las que Shayla Love, redactora de The Atlantic, acoge a los ensayos periodísticos es porque le permiten abordar las contradicciones de sus temas y explorar la interacción entre ciencia, sociedad y cultura, sin empujar al lector hacia las respuestas. Kate Fishman, becaria de Burroughs Wellcome Fund y The Open Notebook, habló con Love y con otros para orientar a cualquier escritor interesado en el arte del ensayo periodístico. ¿Sabía que, cuando se utiliza como verbo, la palabra ensayo significa “probar”? #TONenEspañol https://lnkd.in/g3T7VBJp

Among the reasons The Atlantic staff writer Shayla Love embraces reported essays is because it allows her to engage with the contradictions on her beats and explore the interplay of science, society and culture, without driving a reader toward answers. Kate Fishman, a Burroughs Wellcome Fund early-career fellow with The Open Notebook, talked to Love and several others to help guide any writer interested in the craft of the reported essay. Did you know that when used as a verb, the word essay means “to try”? https://lnkd.in/gXCWwrvt
