Scientific Journalism
I have been reading scientific news articles recently and have figured that the scientific news editors have a specialism in elongating an article which is only meant to 20 words to an article of 200 words.
For example, this article on the Independent headlines why Earth's twin became a Wasteland. So first I read about how Venus is a barrenland, then I read how 32 satellites have been sent to Venus, which is indeed a barrenland. Of course, venus doesn't have life! HAHAH! I jumped at every paragraph hoping that it would include what exactly turned Venus into a barrenland. But instead of some groundbreaking theory about how venus into a barrenland, I can sum this article premise to "Venus turned into a Barrenland because of lack of gravity".
If this was how all journalists wrote their articles, we'd be saving so much paper on newsprint!
Don't even remind of the article I read in the Science journal - Gah!

God yes, if Nature actually cut out the wittering they'd have a damn good journal on their hands.
That is why I like John Mcgribbon (forgotten exact name) and his popular quantum physics books (I use 'popular' in the loosest possible way here) called 'Schroedinger's Cat' and 'Schroedinger's Kittens'. Fabulous tight text and witty!
