Jornalistic Practice:
Discourse Strategies (cont)
n‘Sublime’ science
¨‘Science’ journal as the unquestionable authority
¨“Journalists cannot prove science”
¨Passion and dilligence: “MTWTFFF”
¨Science as savior: serving miracle to patients
¨=>Active discourse construction
¨
nThe “blasphemy” of debate
¨Framing controversy and debates as a challenge to the sublimity
¨(Paradox: Scientific expertise also acted as an important element in building of counter discourses as well)
