The role and platforms of onomastic science communication today

The importance of science communication lies in countering misconceptions that are often deeply rooted in the public consciousness, and the pseudo-scientific content spreading with unprecedented dynamism. The cultural and social changes brought about by the technicisation and virtualisation of information flows mean an unprecedented challenge. But it has also opened up new venues for science communication. Over the last decade and a half, the emergence of blogs and various multimedia and internet platforms has been a major development in the field of onomastic and science communication in general. After a more general introductory section, the paper presents a selection of good examples of contemporary platforms for science communication in onomastics, both in Hungary and abroad, with a more detailed discussion of the onomastic blog of the Onomastic Student Study Circle at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, the NÉVállomás.
