(And the 5,000 who might have read the release doesn’t count the German version sent to reporters in Austria and Germany.) Here’s some math: 13 out of potentially hundreds or thousands of reporters who read the release covered it. And from that he concludes that reporters are lazy, treating science “like gossip, echoing whatever they find in press releases.” I don’t need statistics to call BS on that.
In Bohannon’s write-up he doesn’t mention the reporters who were skeptical. But one reporter from Ohio,

Bohannon’s “I fooled millions ...” headline is actually,

Magma can speed to the surface, powering volcanoes Fast ascent of molten rock could foretell future eruptions By Rachel Ehrenberg , 11:34 AM July 31, 2013 Molten magma can cruise at high speeds from deep in the Earth to the surface,

, triggering volcanic eruptions. The discovery suggests that advance warning of an eruption might come from monitoring seismic action deeper in the crust than scientists usually look. The new analysis, published in the Aug. 1 Nature,
