Title: Communicating uncertainty
Description: Communicating Uncertainty: Media Coverage of New and Controversial Science explores the interactions surrounding scientific uncertainty and its coverage by the mass media. This volume breaks new ground by looking at these issues from multiple perspectives: that of communication scholars studying scientific uncertainty in a number of ways, of science journalists covering these issues, and of scientists actively involved in researching uncertain science and talking to reporters about it.

Communicating Uncertainty examines how well the mass media convey to the public the complexities, ambiguities, and controversies that are part of scientific uncertainty.
