In Dorothy Nelkin's article "The Mystique of Science in the Press" she only touches the image of scientist's in the newspaper. Nelkin explains that scientists are described as a combination of wonder-worker and nerd. Today scientists are portrayed through newspapers, movies, television, and books. They are stereotyped by having glasses, being nerdy, geeky, boring, disconnected from life, and super intelligent. Some people might say scientists are wacko. This just means they are very into their work, and seem to look and act stranger then everyone else.
