Research Abstract |
Nowadays, the information environment with Internet as its core is inevitably being restructured. In order to build an ideal relationship between information technology and media and human beings, the interaction channel, which acts as the medium between the sender and the receiver of media, experts and non-experts of information technology to make their collaboration possible, is essential. However, "science communication" in the category of "science, technology and society studies (STS)", and "media practice" inspired by "media studies" or "cultural studies", though share common interests, are developed on different academic paradigm until today. The integration of both in regards to theory, more importantly, practice ought to be given the top priority. This research presents the importance of finding the common ground of this two trend from a historical sociological point of view and conceiving a comprehensive conceptual frame.
