It's often said that "real" science journalists are passionate about presenting accurate science [see
Chris Mooney].
Strangely, in spite of this passion, they've tended to remain very silent when a major newspaper publishes inaccurate scientific information—at least in the fields I'm interested in.
That changed a little bit with the George Will affair in the past week. George Will is a Pulitzer Roze winning journalist (not a science journalist). He wrote about global climate change in
The Washington Post. Apparently there's another piece in the press.
Carl Zimmer takes him on:
George Will: Locked In Ice!. Congratulations Carl! This is why you are one of the best science journalists.
