Episode 7: Exploring Astronomy through the Eyes of a Journalist

Join host Pranet Sharma as he sits down with guest Mark Dodici, a Princeton student and writer for The Daily Princetonian, to discuss the intersection of astronomy and journalism. Topics include: the intersectionality between journalism and astrophysics, how science communication is essential for the development of astronomy, how journalism furthers the public perception of science, how mass media is powerful for scientific exploration, how being science communicators improves journalists, why science fosters better writing skills, moments where astronomy is relevant to the public because of journalism’s influence, and why presenting knowledge is just as important as finding it.
