BIOTECH IN THE MEDIA - What is the Influence of the Media?
Craig Cormick
Abstract
There is a lot of concern that negative media coverage can lead directly to adverse public attitudes towards biotechnology. However that may not be true for all the population, many of whom are largely unaware of biotechnology issues, regardless of high media coverage. The influence of the media can easily be overestimated by those close to a particular issue, and for most people it is more able to reinforce existing attitudes than change attitudes.
