They would penalize good science because ppl have the temerity to talk to the public about it at a time outside the journal's choosing? GTFO

Fwiw, I love covering preprints, and the more we can reduce the control that journals exert on the science media landscape, the better.

I was wondering how you handle the lack of peer review with preprints? Do you essentially do a mini review by getting other opinions?

If I'm covering a paper, I do that anyway--always, & even (esp?) if it's in a big-name journal. It's the basic job of a science journalist.
