Sumario:We present an exploratory descriptive study designed to assess attitudes towards science, science based media contents and scientists of media communication professionals. The research explores the attitudes of a group of senior audiovisual communication students before and after taking a course on production of radio programs based on scientific contents. Our main results indicate that these students show strong attitudes against scientific communication and lack of interest to work on scientific contents which would not favor the inclusion of these contents in their future work as media communication professionals.
