Nelkin, Dorothy, Selling Science: How the Press Covers Science and Technology. New York: W.H. Freeman, 1987.
Abstract:
More and more, scientists, corporations, and even government institutions are managing the messages about science that enter the public arena through the press. By demonstrating how these peoples' interests, as well as journalists' interests, mold the news, Nelkin sheds light on problems faced by scientists in their quest for improved science literacy and greater public support.
