The problem with science journalism: we’ve forgotten that reality matters most | Media | The Guardian

Science journalists may write about science, but it’s also our job to look beyond wonders, hypotheses and data. It is to look at the people doing the science and whether they have conflicts of interest, or trace where their money is coming from. It is to look at power structures, to see who is included in the work and who is excluded or marginalized...
we fail to do justice to what science is by somehow artificially presenting it as an inhuman, dispassionate inquiry. It’s human.
