Selling Science: How the Press Covers Science and Technology (Revised)

This text discusses how the media cover science and technology. This revised edition replaces cases with current ones.

The book also includes more coverage of television reporting of science.Dorothy Nelkin is the author of 'Selling Science: How the Press Covers Science and Technology (Revised)' with ISBN 9780716725954 and ISBN 0716725959.
