Seafood: setting the record straight

When half-truths, misstatements and flat out errors about seafood make their way into the press, you’re likely to read about it on this blog. When a new study in the world of seafood science is making waves with the media, there’s a good chance I’ll mention it. And when someone gets a fish story right, I’ll let you know about that too.

With this blog, the National Fisheries Institute hope to change the dialogue that often accompanies stories about seafood. It’s no longer about whether we like or agree with a story. It’s about whether reporters and producers are following the basic journalistic tenets of fairness, balance, objectivity and above all, accuracy.

No threats, no rants, no pretense — just a statement: When it comes to reporting about seafood, it’s time the media got the science and the story right.  And when they don’t, we’re gonna call ‘em on it.

The old saying, "never pick a fight with a man who buys his ink by the barrel" doesn't apply anymore - these days it's bandwidth not barrels that matter.

So, let’s make a deal, shall we? If the media will stick to being honest and impartial, seafood will stick to being healthy and delicious.
