Title: | Ethical considerations of using narrative to communicate science | Authors: | Dahlstrom, Michael F. Ho, Shirley S. |
Keywords: | Social sciences::Communication | Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | Dahlstrom, M. F., & Ho, S. S. (2012). Ethical considerations of using narrative to communicate science. Science Communication, 34(5), 592-617. doi:10.1177/1075547012454597 | Journal: | Science Communication | Series/Report no.: | Science communication | Abstract: | This article discusses three ethical considerations science communicators face when considering narrative as a communication technique for science policy contexts: (a) What is the underlying purpose of using narrative: comprehension or persuasion? (b) What are the appropriate levels of accuracy to maintain? (c) Should narrative be used at all? These considerations intersect with perceptions of the appropriate roles of communication and of scientists within democracy. By providing a clearer articulation of these ethical considerations, the authors hope that narrative can become a more useful communication technique toward informed science policy decisions. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/97795 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/12147 |
