food safety, AGRICOLA FNI 91003563, This article discusses the assumptions and issues associated with the conventional risk communication paradigm, explores the principles and consequent strategies of interactive risks communication as an emerging and more viable paradigm, and discusses some of the implications of this new paradigm for communicating about food risks, safety, and quality.

food safety, Consumer concerns about food safety span the issues of pesticide and herbicide residues on agricultural products, additives and preservatives used in food processing, and antibiotics and hormones used in livestock feed. Apprehension about food safety seems to be on the rise. Yet, consumer information has not kept pace. California's Proposition 65, passed in November 1986, requires food labels to note toxic chemicals and is one example of how consumers are seeking to ameliorate this situation. It may be time to permit individual consumers to decide how much toxins they want to consume, i.e., permit the marketing of food products containing a range of toxins so long as the foods are labeled to indicate the level of "health hazard" associated with the toxins the food contains. The "health hazard" displayed on food labels might be calculated like statisticians determine the health hazards associated with automobiles. (original)

Describes the differing roles of science and public journalism. Notes an increase in the number of science and health reporters who have advanced training in the fields they cover and a growing number of reporters being assigned to cover health-risk stories. Also notes development of a new form of journalism devoted to service rather than news.

Presents public relations case studies, including two that involve food safety: (a) Hygrade and the hot dog tragedy (purported discovery of razor blades in hot dogs) and (b) cases of botulism attributed to consumption of canned salmon. These cases involve marketers "able to turn a corporate traumatic event into a public relations victory."
17 pages., Online via UI e-subscription, Author described a process which led to consensus on a new environmental law mediated by legislators and the governor. Identified key elements in the process: (1) the issue must be ripe for action; the parties must feel something may happen imminently without their input. (2) the issue must be complex, not likely to be addressed satisfactorily without cooperative problem solving. (3) the parties must be patient and committed to spending whatever time it takes to reach an agreement.
