The public communication of science and technology has become increasingly important over the last several decades. However,
understanding the audience that receives this information remains the weak link in the science communication process. This
essay provides a brief review of some of the issues involved, discusses results from an audience-based study, and suggests
some strategies that both scientists and journalists can use to modify media coverage in ways that can help audiences better
understand major public issues that involve science and technology.
Carol L. Rogers is editor of the interdisciplinary journal Science Communication. 相似文献

The aim of this field experiment was to develop and assess an intervention promoting positive intergroup relations in culturally diverse schools. The intervention was based on extended contact and social learning and utilized behavioural journalism as its method. Intervention effects were assessed on out‐group attitudes, perceived importance of future contact, perceived peer norms and intergroup anxiety among ethnic majority (N = 583) and minority (N = 214) youth in grades 7–9 in Finnish secondary schools (total Nexperimental = 388; total Ncontrol = 409). As a result of the intervention, both groups showed a tendency to perceive future intergroup contact as more important, and this effect was most notable for younger participants and girls. Prototypicality of in‐group and out‐group peer models contributed positively to intervention effects. However, unexpectedly, the intervention also increased experiences of intergroup anxiety among the oldest participants. The results are discussed taking into account the developmental stage of the youth studied. Besides critically assessing the effectiveness of the intervention, recommendations for improving theory‐driven prejudice‐reduction and for the development of future interventions in culturally diverse contexts are given.

Journalism can serve as a generative disciplinary context for developing civic and information literacies needed to meaningfully participate in an increasingly networked and mediated public sphere. Using interviews with journalists, we developed a cognitive task analysis model, identifying an iterative sequence of production and domain-specific cognitive constructs of journalism expertise. We diagnose common discrepancies between professional practices and typical youth journalism pedagogies, and offer suggestions for teaching participatory politics and civic literacies through journalism. 相似文献

Many journalism organizations have published codes of ethics in recent years. The Association of Newspaper Editors, for example, lists 47 different codes on its website. But an organization of health care journalists felt that none of those codes addressed the unique challenges of covering complex health care topics. The Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing public understanding of health care issues. Its mission is to improve the quality, accuracy and visibility of health care reporting, writing and editing. AHCJ has written a statement of principles for its 750 members. In it, AHCJ states some of the unique challenges faced by journalists covering health care, and offers suggestions on how to face those challenges. Bioethicists are invited to comment on the statement, and to help generate continued discussion of the issues addressed therein. 相似文献

Journalists who witness trauma and disaster events are at risk for physical, emotional, and psychological injury. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a critical ethnographic study among 31 Canadian journalists and photojournalists with regard to coping strategies used to buffer the effects of being exposed to trauma and disaster events and work-related stress. The findings are the result of in-depth individual interviews and six workplace observations with journalists across Canada. The most commonly reported coping strategies were: avoidance strategies at work, use of black humor, controlling one's emotions and memories, exercise and other physical activities, focusing on the technical aspects, and using substances. Recommendations for addressing the effects of work-related stress within this population are provided. 相似文献

To assess some of the ways that blogs appear to be affecting news reporting and consumption as well as some giving a sense
as to their implications for social stability, this paper presents a preliminary analysis of views and comments by bloggers
in Asian countries. Data on this topic was gathered by e-mail interviews of Asian bloggers as well as by collecting writings
and data from relevant websites. Analysis suggests that, in many societies in Asia and elsewhere, bloggers have become an
important source of news outside of but also alongside of traditional mainstream media. A trend is observed that information
and communication technologies are reconfiguring the traditional balance between the creators and consumers of news and the
journalistic reporting profession. Internet blogs and mobile phones, among other technologies, have made new information and
perspectives available concerning local events; they have also added important and often oppositional interpretations of the
significance and meaning of those events. Thus, on both professional and economic grounds, the New Media are reducing the
relative prominence of traditional news outlets as well as stature of professional journalists.

Despite a widespread impression that the public is woefully ignorant of science and cares little for the subject, U.S. National
Science Foundation (NSF) surveys show the majority are very interested and understand that they are not well informed about
science. The data are consistent with the author’s view that the popularity of pseudoscience does not indicate a rejection
of science. If this is so, opportunities for scientists to communicate with the public promise a more rewarding result than
is commonly believed among scientists. In fact, the increasing visibility of science in the mass media correlates with a slow,
steady improvement in public understanding of science in recent years. 相似文献

Most of the publicized work on scientific ethics concentrates on establishing professional norms and avoiding misconduct. The successful communication of science is the responsibility of all involved in the process. In one study, the increased incidence of autism and other social developmental disorders in males was investigated by examining individuals with Turner's syndrome (XO females). In the national newspaper this became "Genetic X-factor explains why boys will always be boys". The steps by which a study on developmental disorders, published in a highly prestigious journal, was transformed into an article in the science section which 'explained' the socially expected gender-based behavior of genetically normal children are fascinating and, unfortunately far too typical. The scientists wrote an excellent article that has just one sentence at the end that hesitantly suggests that the findings might, with further study, have some relevance to understanding normal behavior. The general interest article in the front of the journal gave a good account of the research, but suggested more strongly that there could be an in-built biological dimorphism in social cognition. This was misrepresented in the press as proof of gender differences that "undermines the trend towards sexual equality", and both illustrates cultural bias and provides fodder for feminist critiques of science. The study has been made to appear to be biased in favor of justifying the social structure of society, and yet it was the translation from the scientific study to national news that produced this transformation to biased genetic determinism. It is poor communication of the actual science, coupled with a lack of skepticism on the part of the public, that contributes to such a misapplication of science. Scientists should resist the urge to generalize their results to make them more compelling. The science community should not allow misconstructions of scientific facts to go unchallenged. Journalists, for both the scientific publication and the newspaper, should resist the inclination to embellish the finding with social significance that is not present. For their part, readers must be doubly skeptical of any finding that appears to underwrite any current social hierarchy. We are all responsible for a communication and interpretation of science that is as accurate and socially responsible as possible. 相似文献
