Abstract
Popular media is an unspoken yet ever-present element of the physics landscape and a tool we can use in our teaching. It is also well understood that students enter the physics classroom with a host of conceptions learned from the world at large. It stands to reason, then, to suspect that media coverage may be a major contributing factor to students’ views on physical phenomena and the nature of science—one whose influence will only grow amid the 21st-century digital age. Yet the role of the media in shaping physics teaching and learning has remained largely unexplored in the physics education research (PER) literature so far.
