In the previous chapter, we discussed the challenge facing journalists in reporting science and technology. We advised on the ways of preparing yourself and of using experts to make your task easier. In this chapter we discuss ways of writing bright, interesting stories and conclude with some solutions to common problem areas.
___________________________________________________________
The language of science and technology is one of the main reasons why some journalists are afraid of reporting in this area. In many cases, it is like listening to a foreign language which you cannot speak.
You can overcome most problems by following some simple rules.
Understand the jargon
Scientific names and technical terms (sometimes called jargon) are necessary for scientists. It enables them to speak more accurately to one another about things they have in common. If a surgeon told his assistant to cut "the big tube" during an operation, all sorts of mistakes could happen. Instead, the surgeon might talk about a patient's "aorta" or "vena cava", so that there was no mistake.
That kind of language is acceptable between doctors and nurses, but your ordinary readers and listeners will understand better if your story refers to the aorta as "the main tube carrying blood out of the heart", and the vena cava as "one of the two main tubes carrying blood into the heart".
Remember, you are the bridge between the scientists and the readers or listeners. Where possible, you should explain the jargon in language your audience will understand. To do this, you will need to understand the scientific terms yourself. Find out the simple meanings by asking the scientist concerned, or your contacts or look it up in a dictionary.
It is possible - and sometimes it is informative - to include scientific terms in reports, as long as they are explained immediately in words your audience can understand.
I hope it helps you...
