Closing event of the IANUS Media Panel on 25 February 2025 in Berlin
 
The event provides a platform for exchange on one of the most important issues of our time: trust in science and the role of science journalism in strengthening - or weakening - this trust. At a time when misinformation and public scepticism are pervasive, good and appropriate communication of scientific findings is crucial.
Our panel brings together science journalists, science communicators, politicians and researchers to present and discuss the results of scientific work on trust in science and the role of journalism from different countries. The focus will be on what constitutes science journalism, what ails it and how it can be strengthened to secure the basis of public trust.
