Mediatic Coverage of Scientific Research Published in the Republic of Moldova on “Nutrition” and “Food” Topics

Abstract

Food, along with breathing, hydration and movement, is a conditional factor of human life. This chapter aims to analyze the media coverage of scientific studies in the Republic of Moldova. The research data includes national scientific articles, selected according to a conventional algorithm used for all the countries included in the study. The working tool is the content analysis grid for scientific articles. The keywords used “Nutrition” and “Food” were searched during the reference time interval between 1 January 2014 and 1 January 2017. There are articles in the field of nutrition in the Republic of Moldova, but they are published in national media which are not promoted on scientific networks and websites.
