The roundtable discussion is a wide-ranging review of journalistic practices and their impact on the treatment of scientific uncertainty. The editors try to tease apart constructions of scientific uncertainty to help readers understand how these constructions affect scientific and lay beliefs about science and technology as well as how government policies and regulations dealing with uncertain issues are influenced and formed. Within this framework, they also examine the variety of the interactions among the actors in the uncertainty drama to give readers valuable insights into the intricacies of science communication at work.
