What happens in a science newsroom when a mysterious new virus starts making its way around the world? In their presentation at the DACH21-conference in Zurich, Junior Researcher Irene Broer and Louisa Pröschel from the Leibniz Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI) present ethnographic insights from the Science Media Center Germany and its response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The gathered ethnographic data is part of the "MeWiKo - Media and Scientific Communication" project, (funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research?) which focuses on how science communication by communication offices and the press influences the reputation of scientific publications.
