Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and the Media
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
How the media communicate and how the scientific community influences the media are important factors to consider in the public health response to emerging pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Social representation theory suggests that the media link “the threatening” to commonplace “anchor representations,” which can serve to educate or to create fear.
