Abstract
In this paper we try to identify those conditions which are necessary for communicating science in a critical sense. These conditions concern not only scientific action and knowledge, but also the models and mechanisms for science communication. Here, we propose a fallibilist conception of science �following Popper and Peirce�, as well as a model of science communication based upon the systems theory, following Evandro Agazzi�s suggestion. Finally, from these perspectives, we explore scientific journalism as one of the current expressions of this critical dimension of the communication of science.
