| Has the advent of internet diminished the role television plays in science communication? Some might think so, but we don't. We are convinced that television still plays an important role in keeping the general public informed of developments from the world of science and technology, and its influences on society. Television might still even be the most important channel, given that in Europe and the US almost everybody watches it, much more so than surfing the internet regularly or reading newspapers and magazines. Still, television programs on science are hard to find. It is a fact that academics and public affairs officers do not always appreciate the power of this medium. By showing the possibilities television has to offer, this book intends to change this attitude. Besides documentaries, other formats are equally suited to help popularize science and technology-related subjects: news-items, soaps, docudrama's, talk shows and quizzes. |
