This should be required reading for every journalist asked to write a piece on new research reported by psychologists.

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Levenson Inquiry and Scientific Journalism
As you all will be aware (and how could you not be?!), the Leveson Inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the press is currently considering issues related to the press and the public. You may also have heard that the Inquiry is also keen to understand better how the scientific community sees coverage of scientific issues in the press and wider media. Having been in touch with the Inquiry team I have been told that this is indeed true. Submissions on the issue of scientific journalism and science in the media can be made until the end of January, but the Inquiry is understandably receiving a large volume of evidence.
