The latest print issue of the Columbia Journalism Review carries a paragraph about what might be considered an important story; one that’s running on the front page of newspapers in Britain, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Israel and Canada, but not, oddly enough, in the US.

In the US, a specialized newsletter called Microwave News, carried word of the findings of a 5 country study that showed “a statistically signficant increase in a certain type of brain tumor among people who had used cell phones for 10 years or more.”

I’m sure there are very good reasons – completely unrelated to advertising revenue, interlocking corporate relationships, and intense industry lobbying – why no major news outlet in the entire United States carried this story.

Where did you say you got that remote headset?
