That’s standard. Me and others in my PhD cohort have had experiences where we saw so many minor inaccuracies in the copy we only fixed things that were flat out wrong, otherwise we’d have rewritten the whole article. It’s the result of a combination of non-experts having a 30 minute conversation with you then writing based off their notes a week later and the fact that their job is to hype up research so that it gets more attention from a broader audience. Everyone I knew said they wouldn’t let that happen to them when the press office called, but rewriting someone’s whole article because you feel like they missed nuances is hard to take a strong stance on, especially as an early career researcher.


yes it's better now that the hn mods have changed the headline
