Story content
I'm a journalist and it makes it much easier for me to do research and find information to share with the public when articles are open access. Though I can get my employer to pay for articles that require payment, I am less likely to read them, to be honest. And I am less likely to generate story ideas from articles that I cannot read. It's difficult to justify spending $50 on an article that may or may not be of use . By not having articles be open access, publishers may be unwittingly presenting an incomplete scientific picture that contributes to lay people being ignorant of the subtleties and conflicts in scientific knowledge. This information should be available to everyone, not just people who work for universities with access to the services.
