This is a little off track, but I just finished a long paper on pesticide use, mass media and public opinion. There are several very good articles in professional journals on how and why the media works the way it does and generally does a disservice when reporting on science, how and why the public doesn't like the media or the scientists, why the scientists don't like the media or the public.

If you are interested in this subject, check these articles out. I got them all off the web, but it was at a university, so they may have a subscription. It's worth a try tho. If you can't get them, I can find a way to get them to you.
