[PCST] Research Report about Science in TV and Radio in Europe now online

[Markus Lehmkuhl]

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to call your attention to a final research report about 
Science coverage in TV and Radio in 13 European Memberstates (Audio 
Visual Science Audiences (AVSA)). It is now available on the projects 
website http://www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/en/kommwiss/v/avsa/index.html. 
<mailto:pcst at mailmanlist.net>

The project was funded by European Commissions' seventh framework 
programme and has classified science  programmes in Europe and its 
perception by different sections of the European public.The work was 
divided into three parts.

1. AVSA described what science, and in what amounts, is actually 
communicated by science programmes in Europe; trends or results, 
relevant scientific expertise concerning current non-scientific subject 
matters, more or less established scientific findings, concepts or 
theories that are transmitted in a costly way, or scientific 
explanations with regard to assumed every day needs of the public.

2. AVSA linked the classification of science programmes with their use 
by recipients. It clarified, how many people from different sections of 
the European public do perceive science programmes.

3. AVSA linked science programmes with judgements of focus groups that 
help to assess, how different sections of the European public perceive, 
what about science is offered by science programmes.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
best regards
markus
