Abstract
In a risk society, risk communication is one of the most important
aspects of risk management. Risk communication in democratic
societies is an interactive exchange of information and opinions
concerning risks and risk management among the risk assessors, risk
managers, consumers and other interested parties, usually referred
to as stakeholders, by different means of mass communication. The
right-to-know and participate principle is nowadays enshrined in
local, national, regional and international, and trans-national laws
and regulations. But the precise role of mass media and journalism in
nowadays “risk society” still remains to be determined and should be
an active subject of research by the communication scholars.
