Journalists who report on risks must be mindful not to exaggerate or underplay the scale of any threat.

Risk is one of the hardest things to communicate accurately. This is partly because it can be very hard to actually determine what is a risk, and partly because public perceptions of risk can be very different from those of scientists and other experts who spend their days studying risk.

The resources are to help journalists report risk accurately and explain them in a way that is understandable and clear to their audience.
