I think your research from more than a decade ago needs some serious updating. Things have changed substantially. Plus missing from the coverage are serious looks at the money trail for research, something I have found largely absent in my 20 years of reporting on stem cell and gene therapy. Keep up the good work.
Hi David — I appreciate the comment and suggestions and I agree with you. It's the type of updating and analysis I will be doing on a regular basis moving forward via my Substack starting next week as I do a "relaunch" with new articles several times / week. I hope you will weigh in with additional thoughts on topics of interest!
PS I hadn't seen your substack previously, but plan to take a deep dive. Looks super interesting and useful. Btw see these studies I did on the first decade of national debate over stem cell research -- and another topic i will be writing regularly on looking back and forward on the stem cell controversie, therapeutic cloning, and new debates over gene editing, personalized medicine, and other topics.

Sammy Roth of the LA Times is one of my very favorite reporters because he covers the renewable/conservation tension. At the same time, he argues that it's OK, even preferable to be an advocate. "I’ve been transparent with LA Times readers about where I’m coming from—that I find climate change very scary, and that I care about speeding up the clean energy transition. This hasn’t hurt my credibility, or my ability to tell these stories. On the contrary, it’s helped me do my job better."

Point being in your typology, I don't think the LA Times is known as an advocacy media organization but it still employs open advocates.
