Covering Computer Security in The New York Times

Abstract:

The MSM gets it wrong, the conventional wisdom goes, because the reporters aren't technically adept but are looking for scare stories to sell newspapers or get ratings. John Schwartz debunks a few myths about the mainstream media and explains that it is possible to write about security and other topics without hype to and still keep your job.
