Description: Despite a widely held assumption that the popularisation of science is a twentieth-century phenomenon, writing about science for various publics has continued for more than four centuries and science journalism of one sort or another has been conducted for more than three centuries. It was, however, certainly in the second half of the twentieth-century that science journalism, or journalism about science, came into its own, becoming one of the most vexed areas of journalism, both practically and academically. An examination of this history presents a perspective on an area of journalistic communication - or lack of it - that is of crucial importance in the twenty-first century.
