PRESS RELEASE
Big differences still exist between Member States in attitudes to
science in the media (3 December 2007)While the public in Member States
that were part of the EU before 2004 are generally open to science news,
with more than 62% saying that they are interested in scientific
research, this figure falls to just 38% for those Member States that
joined since 2004. The differences range from 80% in Sweden to just 24%
in Bulgaria. This is just one of the findings in a new Eurobarometer
survey on scientific research in the media. The survey also shows a
difference in the subjects of interest, with the newer Member States
more focused on information technology and space, whereas the pre-2004
Member States saw higher levels of interest in medicine, environment and
energy.
