DemFromCt, writing on the Daily Kos, has a lengthy and important post on Risk Communications, and the way that has been playing out with the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
Included are extensive remarks by risk communications experts Peter Sandman and Jody Lanard. This is a long (6000+ words) essay, but well worth taking the time to absorb.
Highly recommended.
