ÒÁÈ˾þÃs and journalists tend to make uneasy collaborators, for obvious
reasons. So both should find the section on science reporting in Jack Fuller’s
News Values (University of Chicago Press, $22.95, ISBN 0 226 26879 9)
illuminating. Most of the book is about the moral problems faced, or dodged, in
journalism, but Fuller also considers the importance of electronic publishing.
The author is American; the issues are universal. (The cover says the book is
“scrappy”. In the US, that’s a compliment.)
