Too much skepticism on cell phones?

Few news outlets gave serious coverage to the latest findings on cell phones and cancer, and that could be a mistake, Paul Raeburn writes: "It’s not enough to put coverage on autopilot and default into doubt. The journalistic wisdom of today seems to suggest that reporters should understate potential risks — and indeed, it’s important to avoid fear-mongering and hype. But it’s also important to remain open to new research and the potential concerns it may raise."
