"Neither is Perfect".

The author comments on the science-versus-press controversy whereby scientists are conceived to be bad copy, inaccessible, unintelligible and uncooperative, or the press being thought to inaccurately sensationalize scientists and misinterpret their discoveries in the interest of a good story. He states that there are not supporting statistics for the accusation that the press is too often inaccurate and sensational. He says that publishers and editors agree that the press is not perfect, committing errors over and over again. Science writing is getting better and better every day in every way and the reporting of scientific discoveries is no longer the easy task as it was some years ago.
