对于外行人来说,电视上的科学报道是了解科学问题的途径。定义科学证据是科学领域的核心,但科学的新闻报道是否代表科学研究结果是确定的还是不确定的,仍然存在问题。框架方法是对不同媒体表征进行分类的合适框架;本文应用该方法来调查科学电视节目中的电影片段(n = 207)中的科学证据框架。分子医学是本分析感兴趣的领域,因为其不确定和相互矛盾的研究结果和风险的比例很高。结果表明,电视片段对分子医学科学证据的报道各不相同。发现了四种框架:科学的不确定性和争议,科学上确定的数据,日常医疗风险和相互矛盾的科学证据。他们在构建科学证据和分子医学风险的方式上有所不同。
For laypeople, media coverage of science on television is a gateway to scientific issues. Defining scientific evidence is central to the field of science, but there are still questions if news coverage of science represents scientific research findings as certain or uncertain. The framing approach is a suitable framework to classify different media representations; it is applied here to investigate the frames of scientific evidence in film clips (n = 207) taken from science television programs. Molecular medicine is the domain of interest for this analysis, due to its high proportion of uncertain and conflicting research findings and risks. The results indicate that television clips vary in their coverage of scientific evidence of molecular medicine. Four frames were found: Scientific Uncertainty and Controversy, Scientifically Certain Data, Everyday Medical Risks, and Conflicting Scientific Evidence. They differ in their way of framing scientific evidence and risks of molecular medicine.
