Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Introduction part about the risks should be more coherent. Although the tendencie was to explain the nature of risks and how people "digest" risks I reccomend this action in order to improve the overall quality of the text and connection of Introduction to the part that follows. In the process of deleting some parts some additional literature should be added about risks communiction examples regarding health and enviromental issues that could be connected to this study. I suggest adding one more hypotheses about Agenda setting theory and why Portugal's media ignored presented issue-due to lack of interes or due to some kind of media agenda. 

Also, I suggest deleting lines 325-329.
