Circumstances of Science Journalism in Brazilian Federal Institutes: Describing Reality and Communication Product Possibilities

Abstract

Mengyu Fernandes*

A public research and teaching institution can also be recognized for its scientific projection in society and for influencing social dynamics through science, either directly or indirectly. In this way, the goal of this study is to look at how science communication is integrated into the communication of Brazilian Federal Institutes, defining the environments in which science journalism develops there and the products that can be used to spread science. In order to accomplish this, we used both qualitative and quantitative methods in a case study. Two communication managers, five research managers, and one research dean participated in the interviews. A questionnaire was also sent out to 23 journalists and communicators, 11 research managers, 52 student researchers, and 156 supervisors of researchers.
