Thomas Huxley is now famously chronicled as initiating debates about the value and importance of science to the culture of humanity and its importance within a modern economy (Miller, 1983). The cultural authority of science has evolved and shifted since the late 19 century, however, more than 130 years later, despite radical advances in science and technology, the authority, importance and culture of science remains an ongoing debate within the polemic. Counter to the contemporary broad public perception, science is neither a qualification nor a career path. We are reminded of what science is: a systematic way of thinking about the world, about building knowledge and more importantly explaining phenomena through testing observations and assembling an iterative consensus of how the universe works. These are the elemental foundations of the scientific method that lead to replicability, reliability and accuracy within research outputs.

This paper reports on our efforts to understand the media representation of science in Britain and Germany using the corpora of science news newly compiled for the project Mapping the Cultural Authority of Science (MACAS). Our aim was to explore the representation of science and scientists without limiting ourselves to any particular domain of investigation, i.e. without looking at science reporting in relation to health, for example, or space exploration, or engineering, etc. This, of course, simultaneously posed a challenge: we couldn’t pay attention to tensions, controversies, competing discourses and frames that were specific to such domains and issues. Instead, we tried to probe very generally into what science reporting seems to have in common across all these more specific areas. We wanted to know what beliefs about science appear to dominate public discourse and how scientists are represented as social actors regardless of specific discipline affiliations. As we were looking to compare the two contexts on the basis of a qualitative analysis, our paper didn’t delve into distinctions within either of the two corpora. In aiming for this general level, we have, without doubt, denied ourselves interesting observations. We hope that what we say here, even when it simply confirms our intuitions, will illuminate the defaults against which, perhaps, other conceptions of science could be juxtaposed.
