<h2>The following are the three reasons popular media, including newspapers, present data differently than scientific journals:
</h2>
To increase the understandability of the data presented - The data that is enumerated in scientific journals is often full of complications and the level of difficulty of the language used thereof is high. On the other hand, the data presented in popular media is easily understandable because it is simplified for all the viewers and readers to understand it.
To increase the relevance of the data and to link it to other events and incidences - Scientific journals often present the obtained data in a linear manner, whereas, the same data is used by popular media to make references to other data obtained in the past.
To keep the format compact and simple: Common people from non-scientific backgrounds find it difficult to comprehend the data that is presented in formats that are utterly scientific. To make it convenient for common people to read and understand the data, the format of the data is often changed in popular media.
