How can new communication tools foster progress on a finite planet? Issue1 #146272 Conventional media are shrinking while options for directly sharing and shaping ideas -- including tools like Debategraph -- are explosively expanding. It's a great time for scientists, scholars, students and their institutions to dive in and experiment. See related links.

Excerpt / Summary

Specialized journalists now occupy a shrinking wedge of a fast-growing pie of light-speed media. This reality threatens to erode the already limited public appreciation of science. But the situation also presents a great opportunity – and responsibility – for scientists, their institutions, and their funders. Institutions that thrive in this world of expanding, evolving communication paths are those willing to engage the public (including critics) and to experiment with different strategies. The alternative is to hunker down, wait for misinformation to spread, and then – after the fact – sift fact from hype.

Excerpt / Summary

One of my mantras these days is that traditional media are a shrinking wedge of an explosively growing pie of communication options. I make the point frequently in encouraging scientists and their institutions to recognize that the old model of drafting a press release and waiting for the phone to ring is not the path to efficacy and impact.
