As bad as it's been for the newspaper business overall, it's worse for science sections, Christopher Zara reports in the International Business Times: "In 1989, the number of newspapers with weekly science sections was 95. Today, that number is down to 19, according to the Columbia Journalism Review. That’s a big drop, even for one of the fastest declining industries in the country." NASW President Ron Winslow and CASW President Cristine Russell are among the quoted.
