Sinossi

The authors survey a wide range of print and electronic media to provide a look at how hundreds of different hazards are presented to the public from toxic waste and food poisoning to cigarette smoking, from transportation accidents to famine, and from experimental surgery to communicable diseases. Their investigations raise disturbing questions about what the media tell us about modern risks, which hazards are covered and which ignored, and how the media determine when hazards should be considered risky.
