Webinar: Beyond the Panic Button — How Media Frame Food Safety and Risk

11/12/2025 - 11/12/2025 EUFIC - European Food Information Council
Location: Brussels
This webinar explores how media framing of food safety — from contamination and microplastics to additives and foodborne illness — shapes public perception, fear, and trust. It unpacks why some risks are sensationalised and how hazard-based narratives can distort risk understanding and erode trust in regulatory systems. Bringing together scientists and journalists, the session looks at how food safety uncertainty, probability, and emerging risks can be communicated more accurately, responsibly, and engagingly — offering practical insights into how media and experts can work together to inform rather than alarm.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
