Internet has modified in deep the traditional relationship between journalists and their sources. The communication among scientists and between scientific sources and society has changed as well. Nowadays journalists, scientists, bloggers or any curious person from anywhere can access without any problem to every scientific institution web sites. So the scientific source (e.g. NASA) could be considered as mass media itself; and because of that some scientists could produce science “designed” for feed the “media” they belong to. Science is ruled by the audience dictatorship as mass media do. In an international discipline such as science, the new cybernetic environment has changed the scientific communication more than ever. In this article, we analyze these changes according to the rules of a new paradigm called “convergence culture” and the developing Web 2.0 philosophy.
