dc.description.abstract | This article reviews why SARS received so much media attention in Norway,
beginning with descriptions of the dynamics and dilemmas faced in health risk
communication from the point of view of medical experts and generalist
journalists. How the Norwegian media covered SARS is then described and
analysed in relation to these risk communication dynamics and dilemmas. Based
on the description and short analysis, connotations of the main narratives in the
different phases of the SARS outbreak are then discussed. In the conclusion, the
nature of SARS itself is used to explain the enormous exposure it received and
the massive fear it created in Norway compared to the meagre medical damages it
produced there. | no_NO |
