There is no standard route for becoming a science writer or science journalist. However, at least in terms of education the vast majority enters science journalism from the science side. This talk will give an overview of how Laborjournal and – later – Lab Times once entered the scene and what exactly have since proven to be the conceptual key elements for their establishment and success. One of these key elements clearly was that Laborjournal and Lab Times right from the start took a couple of different approaches than most other science print media. On the other hand, the constant comparison with other science media has proven very useful in order to identify important key ingredients of having success and fun (!) in the science journalism business in general. Some insights in this regard shall also be shared and discussed in this talk.
