June 3, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, genetically modified foods, GMOs, science | 73 comments

https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/2ubgmeb71 I’ve been arguing that the worst misinformation and myths about genetically modified foods has spread from the anti-GMO fringes to the mainstream. A jaw-dropping example of this is provided by Michael Moss, an investigative reporter for the New York Times, who was recently interviewed by Marcus Mabry, a NYT colleague about the Monsanto protests that took… https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/1zry4f0qdra Continue Reading…

Buy Ambien Online Cheap When the definitive history of the GMO debate is written, Jeffrey Smith is going to figure prominently in the section on pseudoscience. He is the equivalent of an anti-vaccine leader, someone who is quite successful in spreading fear and false information. (As David Gorski at the Science-based Medicine blog has noted, the anti-vaccine and anti-GMO movements… Continue Reading…

When Science Gets Politicized, Do Journalists Play Favorites?

May 8, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, GMOs, science, science journalism, select | 23 comments

https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/vy5g7db In a Slate piece several months ago, I explored the pro-nuke argument from an environmental perspective. Yesterday, Andrew Sullivan made the case succinctly: If your concern is climate change, and you believe that slowing or preventing it is your fundamental priority, then nuclear power should be high up on the list for energy-production. He was responding to… https://ottawaphotographer.com/6j4o0u3 Continue Reading…

https://www.mdifitness.com/l0f3mw4vq8 In recent years, people have become increasingly concerned about unwanted substances lurking in their furniture and food. These are industrial chemicals we are exposed to every day and that have been found to accumulate in our bodies, “endangering our health in ways we have yet to understand,” CNN asserted in 2007. In 2010, a New York… Continue Reading…

Annals of Amplification in Journalism

February 27, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in electromagnetic fields, Epidemiology, Paul Brodeur, science, science journalism, select | 9 comments

In recent years, we’ve seen episodic waves of hysteria over reports of brain tumors and other cancers allegedly caused by cell phones and WiFi. If I had to trace this legacy of electromagnetic fear back in time, I would credit a 1979 study in the American Journal of Epidemiology and a series of articles in the New Yorker (under… Continue Reading…

Is the Media Simplifying a Complex Story on Disease Outbreaks?

https://chemxtree.com/ejtwu36q1a In recent years, there has been an outbreak of media stories on early childhood disease outbreaks. The press has reported a spike in cases of measles, mumps, and whooping cough in communities from Seattle to Vermont. In many of the stories, a cause-and-effect relationship to lower childhood vaccination rates has been explicit. (Some journalists, however,… Can U Buy Ambien Online Continue Reading…

Why Scientists Should Never Try to Intimidate Journalists

February 19, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Anthropology, science journalism | 26 comments

https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/a0dhgl0djtu A good way to capture someone’s attention is to start off by saying, “I have a few things to get off my chest…” This is how science writer John Horgan begins his latest post at Scientific American. It works. I was leaning close to my laptop by the end of the first sentence, eager to… Continue Reading…

Science Geeks Ready to Rumble

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/xtexqe2qqd Anyone who believes that science, above all, should inform our debates on medical, health and environmental issues, will find much to agree with in The Geek Manifesto, a recently published book by Mark Henderson, one of Britain’s leading science communicators. As science writer David Dobbs writes in his foreward to the U.S. edition, The Geek Manifesto articulates… Continue Reading…

Look What's Spawned in Biotech Media Coverage

December 28, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in genetic engineering, GMOs, science journalism, select | No comments

https://hazenfoundation.org/6k0rxvx3 Journalists today are pretty mindful about the terms they use to describe a group of people, especially when referencing ethnicity or religion. In mainstream media, outright slurs are forbidden (though not everyone abides) and anything that smells pejorative is called out. Euphemisms are another matter, as the tortured debate over torture (I mean “enhanced interrogation”)… Continue Reading…

My Journey Takes Me to Discover Magazine

December 14, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Discover Magazine, science journalism, select | No comments

https://www.varesewedding.com/pwkpoltec8 Life is funny. Thirty years ago, when I was a college freshman, I was most passionate about partying, skateboarding and writing for my school newspaper. This is when I fell in love with journalism. I wrote articles about the nuclear freeze movement in Europe, why I was an atheist, and about student government shenanigans.
