What I did
I was commissioned to write 4 stories about CSIRO’s research in the Great Australian Bight for CSIRO’s sustainability magazine, ECOS.
I read the background material supplied, and interviewed the scientists (not all from CSIRO).
I then drafted the stories and gained approval from all interviewees before submitting the final copy, including the titles and teasers.
I also sourced the images/videos from the interviewees and checked permissions.
The 4 stories were published in issue 237 of ECOS in December 2017.
See links, titles and teasers below.
