BBC Science Focus is actively expanding its network of science, technology, and health writers across both print and digital platforms. The editor is prioritising strong, well-formed pitches for feature-length journalism, especially pieces that can translate complex science into accessible, engaging storytelling for general audiences.
Writers may be commissioned for 1,000–2,500 word features, with compensation scaling based on depth of reporting, research intensity, and number of expert interviews required. The publication is particularly interested in contributors who already have demonstrable experience in science communication, tech reporting, or health journalism.
This is a consistent entry point into high-credibility science publishing, ideal for writers targeting international bylines and long-term editorial relationships in the science media space.
