Which assumes scientists are utterly incapable of communicating with anyone other than other scientists.
- Swizec 11y agoI think it instead assumes that journalists will do anything to sell more papers. Regardless of what the scientists actually say.
- chris_wot 11y agoSo a media officer won't do any good then.
- evgen 11y agoActually it can, because if the media officer becomes the gateway then the reporters are forced into an iterated game with someone who knows them compared to ranging the herd of scientists looking for PR and hoping to pick off the weak and inexperienced.
- chris_wot 11y agoIf they are that interested in reporting a slanted story, a media officer isn't going to help.
