Exploring the interactions that swirl around scientific uncertainty
and its coverage by the mass media, this volume breaks new ground
by looking at these issues from three different perspectives: that
of communication scholars who have studied uncertainty in a number
of ways; that of science journalists who have covered these issues;
and that of scientists who have been actively involved in
researching uncertain science and talking to reporters about it. In
particular, Communicating Uncertainty examines how well the mass
media convey to the public the complexities, ambiguities, and
controversies that are part of scientific uncertainty. In addition
to its new approach to scientific uncertainty and mass media
interactions, this book distinguishes itself in the quality of work
it assembles by some of the best known science communication
scholars in the world. This volume continues the exploration of
interactions between scientists and journalists that the three
coeditors first documented in their highly successful volume,
Scientists and Journalists: Reporting Science as News, which was
used for many years as a text in science journalism courses around
the world.
