Outside The Interzone: Reporting Done Right

Quit copying press releases. They’re not about research. Some of the relevant information might be in the press release, but part of what we used to expect from journalism was that it would do the hard work of making sense of something, then explain it in a way that was mostly accurate, reasonably objective, and palatable to consume for the average high schooler.

I’m not demanding perfection, I’m just asking that you do your jobs.
