Book description
Drawing together insights from media studies, sociology and
science and technology studies, this book offers a novel analysis of the
early framing of nanotechnology and makes a fascinating and timely
contribution to debates about the public communication of science.
Nanotechnology, Risk and Communication is one of the first major studies of
media coverage, policy debates and public perceptions about nanotechnology,
one of the fastest growing areas of scientific innovation in the 21st
Century. Drawing on data from two of the first studies of nanotechnology
communication in the UK, it contributes important new empirical and
conceptual analyses of the relationship between scientists and the media in
communicating controversial new technologies, and charts new ground in a
field of growing scientific and media interest
