This is the most important global gathering of people working in, and working on, science communication. It has a history going back nearly thirty years and it has taken place in all the conti- nents. This conference brings together explainers, publicists, educators, researchers, programme managers and many others. We bring many different perspectives to a shared interest in how we talk about science and technology in wider society. Our discussions in these conferences have often been – and will continue to be – about borders and bridges, gaps and crossings, generally between communities and professional cultures. Here in Istanbul, we find ourselves at the borders and crossings of continents and philoso- phies, of Europe and Asia, of the Christian and Islamic worlds. This city and this country have historically been a source of scientific ideas, preceding mod- ern western science, and a meeting-ground of secularist and theocratic ideas. Now Turkey is at the centre of a tragic refugee crisis, a place for masses crossing – as they hope – from conflict to peace, from repression to refuge. These tensions have worked out in recent times in ways that have been challenging for the Turkish people. The political and physical conflicts have also presented dilemmas for those visiting Turkey. In these contexts, we warmly congratulate our Turkish colleagues for making this conference possible and we salute those who have come from over forty countries to be with us for these few days. Our heightened awareness of how special this gathering is should add to the intensity of our exchanges and to the insights we gain. Over these days we will hear how comedy, dance, music and chat play roles in science com- munication. In the face of obscurantism and tragedy, we need to keep our good humour and our sense of solidarity. Brian Trench President, PCST Network 3 WELCOME A very warm welcome to the 14th International Public Commu- nication of Science and Technology conference. I hope this will be a major professional highlight for all of us. The preparation of the conference began more than 2 years ago. We received around 400 submissions. After a review process, we now have 133 Papers, 23 Panels, 9 Workshops, 4 Performances, 52 Posters with 15 invited speakers and discussants. With on-site registration we are expecting around 350 participants. We are also delighted to announce four workshops for early-ca- reer researchers and practitioners as part of the programme for the PCST 2016 conference. The workshops will take place on Monday 25 April 2016, the day before the conference formally starts. They are open, free of charge, to participants who have registered for the conference. These workshops have fully booked in a very short period of time. The science communication community in Turkey has been growing fast in the past several years. Organizing the 14th PCST Conference in Istanbul brings a fresh enthusiasm to the new and young generation of researchers and practitioners in the region. Spanning Europe and Asia, it can be said that Turkey has been the meeting place of many peoples and cultures throughout the centuries. Having colleagues from over 40 countries in Istanbul at this conference has the potential to show you our way of mutual understanding, respect and cooperation that is also much needed in today’s world. The PCST 2016 conference will be a success with your insights and inputs for the benefit of all conference participants and for science communication around the world. We look for- ward to these valuable interactions and experiences, developing partnerships and significant outcomes of this conference. On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee of the PCST Conference, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed this conference in different capacities and wish all par- ticipants a wonderful, rewarding and successful conference.

Through consultation with a panel of 45 experts working at 1Centre for Research on the science–media interface, we sought to identify the most visible scientists currently living and working Evaluation, Science and in South Africa. In total, 211 scientists – less than 1% of the scientific workforce of the country – were Technology (CREST), Stellenbosch University, identified as visible in the public sphere. The demographic profile and institutional spread of South Africa’s Stellenbosch, South Africa visible scientists suggest that more should be done to increase the diversity of scientists who are publicly visible. Although only 8% of South Africans are white, 78% of the group of visible scientists were white, CORRESPONDENCE TO: and 63% of the visible scientists were men. Only 17 black women were identified as publicly visible Marina Joubert scientists. While visible scientists were identified at 42 different research institutions, more than half of the visible scientists were associated with just four universities. Recent controversies surrounding the EMAIL: [email protected] two most visible South African scientists identified via this study, and the potential implications for fellow scientists’ involvement in public engagement, are briefly discussed. DATES: Significance: Received: 03 Feb. 2017 • This is the first study to identify highly visible scientists in South Africa.

Signature: Date: Eleanor van Zuydam April 2019 iii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Science news reporting in the South African media does not enjoy the same status as other beats such as politics, sport and business. While extensive research has been conducted into the importance and quality of science journalism in South Africa, on the African continent and globally, current research regarding the personal experiences and perceptions of science journalists in South Africa is in short supply. This study examines the current state of science journalism in South Africa, according to industry insiders.
