Established in 1997 by scientist and media expert Dr. Eliene Augenbraun and others, the Center for Science and the Media (CSM) is dedicated to improving the ability of scientists and engineers to communicate with the public. By doing so, CSM ultimately seeks to help shape a more informed public, better prepared to address science and technology issues in an increasingly complex world.
Through a partnership with ScienCentral, Inc., CSM sponsors news desks at ScienCentral News, covering science, health and technology. ScienCentral News reports are broadcast across the country through ABC and NBC local TV affiliates.
CSM has also supported research on the impact of commercial television on the general public, the interest level of television news producers in carrying science and technology content in their newscasts, and professional development for scientists and engineers.
The Center for Science and the Media is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization.
