Elementary, Secondary and Informal Education: Research News for Local NBC Newscasts -- A Planning Grant

科学中心在国家科学基金会的大力支持下，一直在开发和分发短篇科学故事，以便纳入当地ABC新闻广播。他们现在正在与NBC新闻频道合作制定一项计划，制作关于尖端研究的故事，并在当地NBC电视台的当地新闻广播中进行。在这一规划阶段，科学中心将制作、分发和评估三个关于全球气候变化领域当前研究的故事。具体的规划任务包括：确定与NBC新闻合作的技术和编辑程序；对主题、报道格式和所需频率进行形成性评估；以及制定可审计的费用分摊程序。该项目的编辑委员会成员包括PI/执行制片人和前研究科学家Eliene Augenbraun、Science Central副总裁Bsire Rosenfield、新闻总监Jack Penland和高级制片人Curt Epstein。他们将与一个顾问小组密切合作，小组成员包括NBC新闻频道高级制片人Greg Kohler、伊利诺伊理工学院战略倡议办公室Leon Lederman、俄勒冈州立大学环境科学家Jane Lubchenco和埃默里大学行为神经科学中心教育和研究一体化副主任Danielle Gray。咨询委员会成员将审查所有细分市场的脚本和毛坯。

ScienCentral, with major support from NSF, has been developing and distributing short science stories for inclusion in local ABC news broadcasts. They are now developing a plan, in cooperation with NBC News Channel, to produce stories about cutting edge research to be carried on local NBC stations during their local news broadcasts. During this planning phase, ScienCentral will produce, distribute and evaluate three stories about current research in the area of global climate change. Specific planning tasks include: determining the technical and editorial processes for working with NBC News;conducting formative evaluations for topics, format and desired frequency of stories; and developing an auditable cost sharing process. The Editorial Board for the project includes Eliene Augenbraun, PI/Executive Producer and former research scientist; Besty Rosenfield, Vice President of ScienCentral; Jack Penland, News Director; and Curt Epstein, Senior Producer. They will work closely with an advisory panel consisting of Greg Kohler, Senior Producer, NBC News Channel; Leon Lederman, Office of Strategic Initiative, Illinois Institute of Technology; Jane Lubchenco, Environmental Scientist, Oregon State University; and Danielle Gray, Deputy Director for Emory University Integration of Education and Research, Center for Behavioral Neuroscience. Members of the advisory board will review scripts and roughcuts of all segments.
