The seed of this project is an analysis of the British Press between 1946 and 1992, how it covered science and technology over the years, how it framed the big stories of the times from nuclear power, to space race, to information technology and computing, the environment and biotechnology. 1939 - 1952 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATOMIC BOMB 1942 TOWARDS AND BEYOND HIROSHIMA 1943 AUGUST 1945 HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI 1944 1945 1945-1954 THE CLUB (HOT COLD WAR) 1946 1947 1949 UDSSR FISSION BOMB 1951 US HYDROGEN BOMB 1948 1945 - 1954 1952 BRITISH EXPLOSION 1949 HOPE 1954 BIKINI FALL-OUT INCIDENT 1951 FRANCE JOINS 1950 1963 TEST-BAN TREATY 1951 1952 1953 1954 1964 CHINA JOINS The story includes three questions: • Why is there science coverage at all? Why is science coverage not the same over the period? 1955 1956 1957 • Why is it fluctuating between high and low periods of coverage? What themes do the stories cover? 1954 - 1964 1958 EUPHORIA: TESTS AND ENERGY 1959 1957 - 1963 08 DEC 1953 EISENHOWER'S SPEECH ATOMS FOR PEACE' 08 AUG 1955 1960 NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT, 1961 FALL OUT CONTROVERSY • How do the scientists appear, what image do they get?
