Brian Cox gave the Huw Wheldon Memorial Lecture this year and covered some of the issues you can observed in this thread about communication of complex science (and risks) to the general public.
Professor Cox addressed key issues facing news, current affairs and factual broadcasting. He discussed how documentary filmmakers should deal with complex scientific details, given that science on TV must be emotionally and intellectually engaging, as well as entertaining and informative, but above all correct. The lecture tackled the question of how news and current affairs should deal with "controversial areas" such as climate change, vaccination policy and cultural and religious issues, where the scientific consensus contradicts the views of a significant minority or even a majority of viewers.
