Abstract

The biggest stories of our age are based on science: global warming, abortion term limits, even the earthquake and cyclone disasters. And yet journalists, who usually have an Arts background, are notoriously poor at understanding the facts. Fiona Fox has written an excellent article about whether the media is getting better or worse at reporting in the age of what Nick Davies calls ‘churnalism’ in his book Flat Earth News.
