Maybe something to inspire science news editors in the UK, a science
editor on the NY Times is doing a Q&A on their website:
"Talk to the Newsroom: Deputy Science Editor for Health"
Barbara Strauch, deputy science editor, is answering reader questions
March 23-27, 2009.

On being questioned about her background for reporting science, she
admits to being an English Literature major, but says:
"My job, in part, is to ask the questions that less knowledgeable
readers might ask, as well as provide another pair of eyes to make
doubly sure our stories make sense to people without scientific
backgrounds."
