Is this the same Gottfredson who wrote Mainstream Science on Intelligence: An Editorial With 52 Signatories, History, and Bibliography, first published in the Wall Street Journal, December 13, 1994? [1]

That reprint states:

The mainstream shifted slowly but steadily in recent decades as accumulating research evidence changed our understanding of the nature, measurement, origins, and consequence of differences of intelligence. The press and public have yet to catch up to the new mainstream. Social and political pressure, both internal and external to the field of intelligence, continues to make scholars reluctant to share their conclusions freely.

She seems to be saying that the press is out of step, or maybe that they don't understand science well. Maybe it's just that they're trying to meet deadlines and sell papers. Elabro 20:29, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

The same person. The media portrayal was documented by Snyderman and Rothman in the 1980s, see Race_and_intelligence_(public_controversy)#Media_portrayal_and_public_opinion for some details. --Rikurzhen 21:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Does Wikipedia have articles on publication pressure, political pressure, etc.? Elabro 20:30, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I just linked those terms to what I believe are the appropriate articles. Jokestress 18:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't see any discussion on this page, nor any obvious POV problems with the article. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 17:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
