[QUOTE="db89, post: 2073076, member: 374526"] Totally not being funny here, but it's not a sexy enough story. Raising awareness only gets so far (and that's probably buried towards the middle of the paper) but you can sell far more copies if you can splash 'NEW TRICKS TO REVERSE-' 'TRY THIS REVOLUTIONARY-' 'X SEMI-CELEBRITY REVEALS THE SECRET BEHIND-' across the top. It epitomises everything wrong with newspapers nowadays and the Internet is just as bad with the click-bait problem (amongst others). End result is consumers ending up with a momentary snapshot of these things and remember only the scary sentences warning of this consequence and that result if you don't do what the journalist is trying to say. People don't have time to hunt out the story behind the story and sift through the rubbish on the surface. That is how we end up with all the misconceptions and untruths in the world today (and it's reach spreads far beyond diabetes). [/QUOTE]
