Exploring multimedia science storytelling
The Associated Press announced today a collaboration with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education that will allow AP to provide additional multiformat health and science stories to its member news organizations and customers.
AP and HHMI’s Department of Science Education will work
