I'm looking for reasonably detailed descriptions (ideally book-length) of
the work of contemporary science or technology communicators but don't have
a clue where to start. The communicators could be of more or less any kind,
from museum or science-centre workers to newspaper science correspondents
and PR workers; I'm less interested in communicators for whom science or
technology communication is a secondary activity (e.g. the Robert Winstons
of this world).
In my ignorance, I imagine the ideal sources would be ethnographies,
biographies and autobiographies, though I guess there may be good
ethnographic accounts to be found in academic journals I don't ordinarily
come across. I wonder if anybody on the list might be able to suggest a few
leads.
