Yes, and Ashley Rindsberg covers the science-writer / sci-journo divide well, a divide which I was not hip to prior: "The deeper phenomenon at work, however, is that in the U.S. a large number of professionals who cover science for general readers and for news publications like The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal are not—and do not pretend to be—journalists per se. They are science writers whose field is science communications—a distinction with a huge difference. They see their role as translating the lofty work of pure science for a general audience, rather than as professional skeptics whose job is to investigate the competing interests, claims, and billion-dollar funding streams in the messy world of all-too-human scientists." https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/treason-science-journals https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/treason-sci...
