"Science journalism is a specialization that has not been thoroughly studied in Peru. A lack of research on this subject reflects this situation. In this context, this master’s thesis “Reporting science journalism in Peru: A qualitative study of challenges and opportunities” can be considered a first examination of certain characteristics of this specialization in this country. Its main goal is to point out and explain the limitations that exist in reporting a science news —from finding a story to writing an article— and the factors that can contribute to overcoming them. A qualitative analysis of interviews with journalists and scientists provides insights about these two aspects. The results of this study show that the reporting of science journalism in Peru faces educational, economic and organizational limitations, with the lack of specialization courses being one of the main problems."
