Abstract

This preprint has been published in Human Dimensions of Wildlife 11(3). State wildlife agencies have little guidance about what Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) information to present on their Websites. This article describes four approaches to public information publication (private citizen view, attentive citizen view, deliberative citizen view, stakeholder publisher) that agency staff can employ to consider what CWD information to offer to the public.
