Abstract

The complex saga of BSE in cattle and its possible links with nvCJD has aroused deep public concern. The media played a central role in informing the public about events as they unfolded and offered multiple meanings and interpretations. We take the BSE and nvCJD saga, as represented in three Australian newspapers, to consider the relationship between science, the media and public health.
