TY - GEN AB - This work challenges the general perception that mass media fails to communicate scientific studies and research to the public. Through detailed case studies of journalistic presentation of science news in regional newspapers in Kerala, the text demonstrates that mass media has a rather complex relationship with science in contemporary democracies.
