Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the role of journalists in science communication, this book presents a perspective on how this is going to evolve in the twenty-first century. The book takes three distinct perspectives on this interesting subject. Firstly, science journalists reflect on their ‘operating rules’ (science news values and news making routines). Secondly, a brief history of science journalism puts things into context, characterising the changing output of science writing in newspapers over time. Finally, the book invites several international journalists or communication scholars to comment on these observations thereby opening the global perspective. This unique project will interest a range of readers including science communication students, media studies scholars, professionals working in science communication and journalists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining Newspapers reviews recent, significant findings about newspapers and the newspaper industry. Arranged in chapters from news gathering through writing, editing, management, readership, and audience effects, this insightful volume focuses on continuing, important themes in newspaper research. The author presents key studies and synthesizes their results to draw conclusions concerning what current research tells us about publishing audience-relevant information and about competing successfully for people's time and dollars. In addition, the volume is extensively referenced to lead readers back to the original research articles from which answers have been drawn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated how the field of science is framed by the United States news media. One full year's (i.e., 2014) worth of science news from four newspapers (i.e., two prestige newspapers, The New York Times and The Washington Post, and two high-circulation newspapers, The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Minneapolis Star Tribune) was gathered and content analyzed in an attempt to determine the distribution of positive, negative, and neutral/ambiguous science news and to compare these distributions in different types of newspapers. Results of a content analysis of 425 (N=425) science news articles indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between the two newspaper groups (i.e., prestige and high-circulation newspapers) or between the four individual newspapers in terms of their distributions of positive, negative, and neutral/ambiguous science news articles. This study did result with the general observation that there was a large amount of positive and neutral/ambiguous science news and a small amount of negative science news in all four newspapers. An interesting finding of this study is that there was a much larger amount of science news in prestige newspapers (i.e., in 2014, there were 984 science news articles in the prestige newspapers under investigation) than there was in high-circulation papers (i.e., in 2014, there were 179 science news articles in the high-circulation newspapers under investigation).

Download or read book Reporting of Social Science in the National Media written by Carol Weiss and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1988-08-04 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy makers, as well as the general public, are often unaware of social science research until a story about it appears in the national media. Even in official Washington, a staffer's report on social research may go unnoticed while a report in the Washington Post receives immediate attention. This study takes a systematic and revealing look at social science reporting. How do journalists hear about social science, and why do they select certain stories to cover and not others? How do journalistic standards for selection compare with social scientists' own judgments of merit? How do reporters attempt to ensure accuracy, and how freely do they introduce their own interpretations of social science findings? How satisfied are social scientists with the selection and accuracy of social science news? In Part I, Carol H. Weiss addresses these questions on the basis of personal interviews with social scientists and the journalists who wrote about their work. Part II, by Eleanor Singer, is based on an analysis of media content itself, and compares social science reporting over time (between 1970 and 1982) and across media (newspapers, newsmagazines, television). These two complementary perspectives combine to produce a thorough, realistic assessment of the way social science moves out of the academy and into the world of news.
Download or read book Science and the Media written by Donald Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How science and technology are covered by the media is a central factor in scientific illiteracy. Journalists value timeliness, speed, simplicity, and clarity. Yet stories about science and technology may be long-building, complex, and without dramatic, time-pegged events. The need to grab and hold attention, to write tight stories or produce short segments, can come at the cost of context and nuance. One observer, noting journalism's preference for attention-grabbing, conflict-driven events, has joked that reporters two thousand years ago would have covered the heck out of the crucifixion - and missed Christianity. As the world grows more complex, there is an increasing need for citizens to understand the scientific and technological dimensions of daily news events. Journalists play a critical role in helping readers, listeners, and viewers appreciate the science underlying major policy choices. And scientists, in turn, must effectively communicate to the public, especially through the media. We hope that the essays gathered in this volume will generate a broader understanding of the intertwined roles of the media and the scientific and technical community in helping to ensure a well-informed public.

Download or read book Reporting Science written by Jeffrey H. Goldstein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-08 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1986, this is a nonscientific book about science. It is concerned with the relationships among social science, journalism, public information, and public policy. Reporting Science: The Case of Aggression explores some of the obstacles – and suggestions for overcoming them – to the mutual exchange of information when that information concerns research and theory on a sensitive issue, in this instance, violence. Among the issues explored are: What is the social scientist’s responsibility, if any, for the public dissemination of his or her work? How accurate are mass media reports of scientific research on such socially sensitive issues as violence and the effects of mass media portrayals of sex and aggression? How do science journalists select particular pieces of research for study? How can interested scientists more effectively present their work to the public? What are the ethical issues involved in greater scientist-journalist cooperation?
