The Science In The Newsroom Global eSummit 2020, is part of a new Science In The Newsroom programme, run by World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) and supported by Temasek Foundation. Consisting of high-impact workshop training and sharing of best newsroom practices, the programme seeks to bridge gaps in specialist health and science reporting skills, teach better storytelling that address misinformation around complex issues and build greater public trust in newsrooms.

Following the eSummit, the programme will produce a journalism handbook summarising key learnings, action points and resources, to be shared with newsrooms worldwide.
