- Trust Us, We’re Experts! Raises questions about the role of public relations in a democracy and the influence of money and ideology on the practice of science. Corporations have gained control over both what scientists do and what research becomes public knowledge. How the public relations industry uses the “third party technique” to promote corporate products and discredit public health and environmental advocates. By enlisting scientists and other credentialed “authorities” to produce research tailored to corporate needs and smear critics’ work as “junk science,” PR firms have successfully downplayed the hazards of tobacco, carcinogenic chemicals, and global warming. By Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber (Jeremy P. Tarcher/putnam, 2001, 360 pp.;notes, index)
