Questions on the evolution of scientific journalism also affect Italy. How are some of the top names in the sector interpreting the changes brought about by networks and the new relations between science and society? How are traditional publications reacting? What are the goals of new editing companies when it comes to information on science, medicine and technology? How are professionals preparing for what is to come?
