That's true of most periodicals, not just New Scientist.

I think anyone who tries to explain science to non-specialists has a
very difficult job on their hands. That's not to say that New
Scientist could not do better, just that it is a difficult job. By
the time you have removed most of the jargon to make it accessible to
non-specialists, most of the content has also disappeared.

We need someone who can do what Johnny Ball did to numbers to children.

I always liked James Burke personally.
