- munk-a 8y agoWhen a random reporter is told to check out a scientific paper and tries to summarize it they take a complex topic and attempt to express it as best as they're able. Those scientific emissaries who are skilled at their scientific expertise and public speaking are able to express those complex topics more correctly and more approachably... If a report then copy-paste's their speech and publishes it in a newspaper or reads through the speech and tries to pull out things they consider important, they're working from a better starting point, the important information has already been distilled and expressed by an expert.
