While fact/value separation has wide support as a strategy for resolving science and technology controversies, both the possibility and desirability of separating facts from values have been challenged by recent work in science and technology studies. As debate has refined the issue, it is generally accepted that many aspects of scientific work are value-laden, that scientists after all are human, and their values, preferences and biases influence their work in numerous ways, thus rendering the thesis of fact/value separation untenable. The untenability of fact/value separation has implications for journalists and journalism educators: journalists should be wary, and students should be taught to be wary, of calls for fact/value separation that "sub rosa" limit the range of issues considered.
