References: We have based our study on the theories of Ulrick Beck and Anthony Giddens. They believe that we live in a risk-society, where we need the experts to guide us. These theories are relevant to us since we wanted to see how risks are created in health magazines. And in what ways they use experts to legitimate their message. As Beck and Giddens we believe that risks are something that is socially created, and the importance of media is not insignificant
