I can give you an anecdote about my personal experience. Two years ago, we wrote a paper on the benefit of vigorous intensity, physical activity, and that paper received a lot of media; and then, 70% of them reported wrongly, and we actually did a content analysis, a little bit interested in, you know, what sort of media reported correctly; and was or media reported incorrectly, and you know we did find that, you know, with media sources, like New York Times and Times Magazine, The Economist, they actually had proper interview with us and they asked us to clarify and they did their background research. So, it's a lot more likely to be right and then Daily Telegraph was one of the worst ones, that's surprising one, but the audience here probably, I would say, don't read. So we we do see significant differences in terms of the sources and the the correctness of their reporting. But I can only say that the case example of the one specific paper. Different outlets reporting on the single paper and we can't expect the audience to fact check everything that they get in the media, just an anecdote!
