A eldthatdoesnotcommunicatee ectivelywiththepublicsoonlooses its interest and support. Author Andr e Heck explains the many di erent ways in which professional communication now occurs while Leslie Sage explains how such communication should be done.

If astronomers do not share their results with the public, they will loose its support. However, for most astronomers the desire to share and educate dominates over the pragmatic need to win public support.
