Is science journalism dying? A 40-year comparison
Original: Is science journalism dying? Comparing a ‘science crash’ 40 years ago to today
Commentators are debating the state of science journalism, asking whether the field is dying. The discussion draws a parallel between today's pressures on science reporting and a so-called 'science crash' that hit the profession roughly 40 years ago, when outlets cut dedicated science desks and coverage declined. The comparison raises questions about whether current job losses, shrinking newsroom budgets and changing media habits mark a repeat of that earlier downturn or something new.
Why now: Renewed concern about newsroom cuts and declining science coverage is prompting comparisons with past crises in the profession.
