This introduction sets the stage for the special issue on the public communication of scientific uncertainty that follows by sketching the wider landscape of issues related to the communication of uncertainty and showing how the individual contributions fit into that landscape. The first part of the introduction discusses the creation of media content as a process involving journalists, scientific sources, stakeholders, and the responsive audience. The second part then provides an overview of the perception of scientific uncertainty presented by the media and the consequences for the recipients' own assessments of uncertainty. Finally, we briefly describe the six research articles included in this special issue.
本引言通过勾勒与不确定性传播相关的更广泛问题图景，并展示各独立贡献如何融入该图景，为后续关于科学不确定性的公众传播的特刊奠定了基础。引言的第一部分讨论了媒体内容的创作过程，该过程涉及记者、科学信息源、利益相关者和有反馈的受众。第二部分则概述了媒体呈现的科学不确定性观念及其对受众自身不确定性评估的影响。最后，我们简要介绍了本期特刊收录的六篇研究文章。
