    Research and fact checking is what separates journalists from hacks.
    “Journalist” implies factual information, not science fiction. If someone writes a “news” story about the magic land of Xanth because they can’t tell the difference between a Piers Anthony novel and a scientific study it’s not Piers Anthony’s fault for being too “tricky”.
