When parents are reading about children’s research, they should consider the source – where are they reading this information? Is it the New York Times? Is it WebMD? Or is it a blogger with a special interest? Because sometimes, it matters. In general, the major news organizations present this information in a more accurate and thorough manner. But there are some caveats. For instance, science journalist in general – those are people who have some kind of scientific training – generally provide coverage that is more accurate, and nuanced and thorough. So if you see a political columnist writing about breastfeeding, you should be wary. If you see an interior decorator speaking about prenatal toxins, be wary. Also, I find when children’s health research is featured in strange or unusual places, for instance, the style section, the living section – you should be suspicious. I also find it curious that we don’t often find critical analysis or discussion of parenting advice or children’s health in the way that we do with other topics – say business or politics, or even athletics. That’s just missing from the media right now.
