The dialogue between scientists and journalists has never been more needed than it is today. Today, science must struggle to survive in the public discourse. In an always-on culture dominated by crowdsourcing, 144-character news alerts and shrinking newsrooms, technical details get distorted and lost. In the context of environmental remediation, audiences must sort out complicated relationships among government sponsors, contractors, regulators and local citizens. Journalism is being redefined. Media literacy, an approach to how we understand the role of media in society, is an emerging discipline that offers essential skills of inquiry and critical reflection on information sources. In addition, new tools exist for scientific professionals and consumers alike to access, analyze, engage with media more effectively. (authors)
