I am not so sure this is a bad thing … probably much of what was in those science sections was horribly wrong. Â I don’t have much respect for science reporting. Â đ
Chris Nandor – about as wrong as other reporting, I speculate — the reporter does his/her best under time pressure without the luxury of being a subject expert. I think it’s got to be better than nothing.
I’m lucky that my local paper has a superb veteran science reporter, Ron Seely. I also remember reading science stories in the Boston Globe as a teenager. Â Today I get most of my science news from magazines and (surprisingly) Ars Technica, but I do appreciate it when my local paper alerts me to a story I missed, if only for the URLs to read more.
Chris Dolan I don’t think it is necessarily better than nothing.  Again, I am not so sure.
