Covering the Nobel Prizes

Covering the Nobel Prizes And the contrast with other events Enlarge this image Carlos Carmonamedina for NPR Public Editor Carlos Carmonamedina for NPR Public Editor Covering the science categories of the Nobel Prizes is challenging, even for a news organization with a science team, like NPR. Why are the science Nobel prizes less worthy of coverage than equivalent entertainment/sporting events? Among them were stories about Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse winning the 2023 Nobel Prize in literature, and a Morning Edition segment about two scientists winning the 2023 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine. Greenfieldboyce added that NPR has covered all these issues related to the prizes, and shared the below examples: A 2020 story about how the Nobels overwhelmingly go to men A 2008 story about a scientist being left out of a Nobel Prize in chemistry A 2011 story about a scientist who won the Nobel Prize for medicine days after he died of cancer A 2019 profile about a former National Science Foundation staffer who received special recognition from a Nobel Prize winner for his research Sponsor Message Greenfieldboyce said that, among scientists, there are many other prestigious prizes, such as the Lasker Awards.
