THE ROLE OF INNOVATION JOURNALISM IN SCIENCE NEWS MEDIA
Innovation Journalism Vol.2 No.10, Jun 21 2005
By Marie Granmar.
During the past decade there has been an important worldwide trend in which more research is conducted in private companies or research departments with high ambitions of spin-offs. The science journalism tradition of mainly giving perspectives on recently published peer reviewed articles is no longer sufficient. Innovation journalism increases the possibilities of covering key factors driving scientific development. This paper describes how a few different science media have chosen to approach the challenge of integrating innovation journalism. It discusses the challenges for the modern science journalists, their work environments and editorial organizations.

HOW TO DO ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION JOURNALISM
Innovation Journalism Vol.2 No.9, Jun 7 2005
By Birgitta Forsberg.
http://innovationjournalism.org/archive/INJO-2-9.pdf
The purpose of this paper is to give other journalists ideas of how to do environmental innovation journalism and to define the field of environmental innovation journalism. The paper gives some examples and partly describes what is happening with companies’ environmental work. It is the hope of the author that readers will find interesting threads that will become embryos of new stories. As this paper is aimed at journalists, the reader is expected to have journalistic skills and to know how to do research, how to be critical, balanced and accurate and how to handle ethical dilemmas. Basic journalism is beyond the scope of this paper.

INNOVATION READINESS - A FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING CORPORATIONS AND REGIONS BY INNOVATION COMMUNICATION
Innovation Journalism Vol.2 No.8, May 23 2005
By Ansgar Zerfass.
The industrial reality does no longer match the traditional understanding of innovation based on the assertiveness of creative scientists and entrepreneurs. Nowadays, an integrative approach is necessary. The concept of “Innovation Readiness” takes into account the relevance of internal as well as external stakeholders within the innovation process (stakeholder orientation) and considers the relevance of regional and branch-specific innovation systems (cluster development). It also highlights the importance of communication for the implementation of new ideas, products, and services. Following this line of argumentation, the article explains the strategies and measures of Innovation Communication. Several case studies illustrate how communication may foster the ability to innovate and thus strengthen competitiveness in a fundamental way.

THE RISE OF ANALYSTS AS SOURCES IN INNOVATION JOURNALISM
Innovation Journalism Vol.2 No.2, February 4 2005
By Niclas Lilja.
Reporters increasingly use analysts as sources in innovation journalism. By using analysts, the reporters get access to knowledge, resources, insight and industry access. The reporters stay neutral on the surface of the article by quoting analysts instead of expressing personal beliefs. The potential confusion happens if readers and or journalists believe analysts to be neutral experts when they could be pursuing their own agenda.

COMPONENTS OF INNOVATION JOURNALISM
Innovation Journalism Vol.1 No.5, September 17 2004
By Magnus Höij.
In order for text to be “innovation journalism”, it has to cover both the invention and the market. While these two elements are sufficient and necessary for calling it innovation journalism, other elements can be added to make the text even more useful or enjoyable for the readership.
