No apology necessary Kat, that was my theory too. (But I didn't want to 
lead anyone, so didn't say so.) List members have been very kind and have 
supplied stories that appear to back this up, but also paint a slightly 
more complex picture.

The reason I am asking the question is that I am trying to build a fuzzy 
picture before I seek out case studies - I research the role of journalism 
in science here at SPRU at the University of Sussex.

Best wishes
Jenny
