Lost in Translation? Understanding the newsworthiness of scientific research.

Scientific breakthroughs, debates, and controversies reach the general public not through scientific publications, but largely through the news media. However, which breakthroughs, debates, and controversies are 'newsworthy' are by no means the same for everyone. In this project we investigate which (f)actors are important in the production of scientific news through qualitative and quantitative content analysis, and interviews with stakeholders.
