This article discusses recent developments of the relationship between scientists and journalists in Norway, a country without a tradition of science journalism. A general professional upgrading among journalists is now accompanied by a growing interest in science coverage. Paradoxically, this coverage is already extensive, though as yet not of high quality. For a proper understanding of the traditions as well as new tendencies within science coverage, we discuss cultures and traditions—within academic as well as in the media—and specific socio-historical contexts. The discussion is based on surveys among scientists interviewed on TV and in newspapers, and on a content analysis of the coverage of social science in Norwegian dailies.
