Science and Mass Communication

It is an integral part of the modern society and a shortcut to success to spread science through the mass media. Science exploration has a long way to go, which would be even longer if there is lack of the participation of media. Through the media, scientific discoveries and technological inventions are possible to become part of the popular culture and a power which could change the world. The media dissemination of scientific wisdom and rational spirit could inspire people to think deeply, which is beyond narrow-minded and prejudice, so that the road to the future could become flat. In this paper, four interrelated topics are discussed: the impact of science on humanity; the development of science and technology in the background in humanities; the mission for media to spread science; exploring the media dissemination of scientific wisdom.
