Journalism, Science and Society by Martin W Bauer

Analyzing the role of journalists in science communication, this book presents perspectives on how this field is going to evolve in thetwenty-first century.

'Recently published controversies concerning the dangers of global warming and its implications for public policy provide a background that makes this book's subject of considerable interest.. Topics include the question of what pressures are put on science journalists, the accuracy and depth of what they write, the educational role of science journalism, and how journalists see their role in society. International contributors provide views from other countries ... their varied points of view bring up many thought-provoking issues about the role of science journalism more generally in public education and public policy.' – Choice
