I keep expecting to see coverage of this in what some would term the "mainstream" press but it's crickets. I refuse to believe that they're waiting for more results either, even the more reputable publications will carry junk science. At the very least there's an interesting story to tell in the publishing of the paper.
- iamflimflam1 3y agoI think they've done their "exciting breakthrough" piece and now it's not very news worthy.
- tjpnz 3y agoI didn't even see that. Am I living under a rock?
- ajkjk 3y agoYes, it's been everywhere. But -- rightly -- not as hyped as on the overexcitable corners of the internet who want to follow every little bit of news on the subject (because, I guess, they don't care about the quality of the information? Personally I would rather wait and see what happens when experts have time to apply expertise and rigor to the topic.)

Plenty more from less "historic MSM outlets". Looks like the MSM has been writing more than a few LK99 articles in the past 5 days!
- cubefox 3y ago> Alex Kaplan, who had majored in physics at Princeton University, found out about LK-99 on Hacker News, a news aggregation website.
- gremlinsinc 3y agoI read hacker news more than I read my own email, seriously. How's this matter?
