Yes, sorry, should have emphasised that I wasn't meaning news with
that example, just a study of science television! I also meant to link
to this:
http://www.scidev.net/en/key-documents/towards-a-better-map-science-the-public-and-the-me.html
- A report by Cardiff on science news from a few years ago, TV is only
part of their study, but it should be relevant.
In addition to the Holliman et al (2009) Investigating science
communication in the Information Age, these two intro readers are
worth looking at, especially on news, if only to use their
bibliographies as guides for further reading:
* Bucchi, Massimiano & Trench, Brian (eds) Handbook of Public
Communication of Science and Technology (Abingdon: Routledge)
* Bauer, Martin & Bucchi, Massimiano (eds) Journalism, Science &
Society (New York: Routledge), 133-141.
One of the best applications of the analytical literature on images of
science in fiction applied to images of science in non-fiction I've
seen in recent years is Elizabeth Leane's (2007) Reading Popular
Physics (Ashgate). She is talking about book-length images, but some
of her points might be useful.
