The Report Report Report

I’d like to start a new feature on felixsalmon.com, called the Report Report

Report. The Report Report Report is for anybody who has ever read a news article

whose subject is a "new report" (or survey, or study, or similar).

I will track down the original report, and judge the reporting on it. Does the

report say what the news articles say it says? Do the articles present hypothesis

as fact, or otherwise sensationalize findings? Do they display the requisite

amount of skepticism with respect to the methodology and possible ulterior motives

of the report’s authors? You ask me, and the Report Report Report will tell

you.

Nominations now being accepted – I’ll try to cover any articles pointed

to in the comments, so long as I can find the original report.
