Research output: Contributions to collected editions/works › Article in conference proceedings › Research › peer-review
Authors
Based on a mail survey of journalists and experts we analyzed the science-journalism interface in the German discourse on global climate change. The purpose was to better understand how scientific knowledge is integrated into public discourses and to explore what happens to the meaning of scientific
knowledge when it enters the realm of the media. We found a strong co-orientation of experts and journalists. Furthermore, we identified some characteristics of “meaning production” in the journalistic processing of expertise. The survey is part of our project “Climate Change in the Public Sphere” and was funded within the German Climate Research Program.
