  3. Science Communication between Michael Faraday and MTV – CAP 2005, ESO Headquarters, Garching, June14-17, 2005 Trends in Public Communication – The omnipresence of public communication – The blurring of private/public sphere – The technology-driven information pressure – The technology-enabled information flow – Public communication as a business model – News do not ‘happen’, they are ‘made’ and ‘placed’ – For the public: Fast access, questionable quality – For communicators: The challenge of the zapper society – All practice communication; few understand it Trends in Public Communication | Contemporary Science Communication | Astronomy Communication | Institutional Communication |

  4. Science Communication between Michael Faraday and MTV – CAP 2005, ESO Headquarters, Garching, June14-17, 2005 Contemporary Science Communication – New concepts: PUS, PAS – Focus on target groups – Better understanding of means – Professionalization of science communication – Good-bye to classical ‘popularisation of science’ – Hello to sophisticated communication methods Trends in Public Communication | Contemporary Science Communication | Astronomy Communication | Institutional Communication |

  5. Science Communication between Michael Faraday and MTV – CAP 2005, ESO Headquarters, Garching, June14-17, 2005 Contemporary Science Communication – Delivering information to the public (hypodermic model) – Creating awareness/soliciting support – ‘feel good’ PR – Attracting young people to S&T professions – Education Classical science communication – ‘We’re all in the same boat’ – Really? (or who exploits whom?) Trends in Public Communication | Contemporary Science Communication | Astronomy Communication | Institutional Communication |

  6. Science Communication between Michael Faraday and MTV – CAP 2005, ESO Headquarters, Garching, June14-17, 2005 Astronomy Communication – ‘Clock-work’ notion of nature – Non-intrusive, non-threatening – Non-controversial, no ethics issues – NEOS? DI? Trends in Public Communication | Contemporary Science Communication | Astronomy Communication | Institutional Communication |

  7. Science Communication between Michael Faraday and MTV – CAP 2005, ESO Headquarters, Garching, June14-17, 2005 Institutional Communication – Large projects, large budgets, big risks – Big discoveries – high stakes, multiple pressures – The need to be heard – Politicized communication New domain for astronomy communication (?) – Can we learn from risk communication? Trends in Public Communication | Contemporary Science Communication | Astronomy Communication | Institutional Communication |

  8. Science Communication between Michael Faraday and MTV – CAP 2005, ESO Headquarters, Garching, June14-17, 2005 Institutional Communication – Competing claims – Controversies – Credibility – Understanding public ‘management’ of claims Trends in Public Communication | Contemporary Science Communication | Astronomy Communication | Institutional Communication |
