M. Brüggemann, I. Lörcher und S. Walter untersuchen die Grenzen zwischen Wissenschaft und Journalismus.
Der neue Artikel "Post-normal science communication: exploring the blurring boundaries of science and journalism" von Michael Brüggemann, Ines Lörcher und Stefanie Walter ist in der aktuellen Ausgabe des Journal of Science Communication erschienen.
Abstract: This article provides a framework for analysing changes and continuities in science communication. The field is challenged by three contexts: (1) ‘post-normal situations’ of coping with uncertainties, value questions, an urgency to take action, and associated political pressures; (2) a dramatically changing media environment, and (3) a polarizing discourse culture. We refine the concept of post-normal science to make it more applicable to analyse public science communication in an era of digital media networks. Focussing on changes in the interactions between scientists and journalists, we identify two ideal types: normal and post-normal science communication, and conclude that the boundaries of science and journalism are blurring and under renegotiation. Scientists and journalists develop new shared role models, norms, and practices. Both groups are increasingly acting as advocates for common goods that emphasize the emerging norms of post-normal science communication: transparency, interpretation, advocacy and participation.
