Cancer is an issue of life and death – and increasingly across Europe it is about life.
This is a complex, challenging area to report, with life changing effect on individuals and families and a growing impact on societies. Few issues are more important for serious journalism.
Journalists must be able to explain complexities of science research in terms the public can understand. They must engage with policy issues that determine how cancer detection, treatment and care are organised. Above all, journalists need to be in touch with their own humanity to convey how people face up to cancer, and how the best treatment and care make a difference.
We have two opportunities for journalists who are addressing issues of cancer in their work at the human level.
Calling for the best in cancer journalism
