Abstract
There is a lot of confusion among both scientists and journalists about what exactly is meant by science journalism. This applies in particular to different normative assignments, according to which science journalism is often not seen as a critical observer (“fourth estate”) but as a mere explanatory format or even as a campaigner for research. This article gives a short overview of the historical development of the field, discusses possible synergies with and differentiations from other forms of science communication as well as triggers and specific topics for science reporting.
