A top Stanford researcher is calling out science journalism for betraying its mission. Professor John Ioannidis, one of the world's most influential experts on research methodology, argues that media advocacy is now "terrorizing" science—prioritizing narrative impact over methodological rigor.
📊 When narrative wins, truth loses. Ioannidis warns that journalists increasingly present conclusions as settled before evidence is fully examined. The result? Public certainty hardens around findings that are premature—or flat wrong. In the rush to shape policy and public opinion, science journalism has become a campaign, not a bridge.
At Plexus News, we question the narratives others take for granted. When the messenger becomes the advocate, the message loses its value.
