Malcolm Ross (journalist)

Malcolm Ross is a journalist best known for his reporting on issues related to race, science, and religion. He gained prominence in the 1990s for his controversial views on the connection between race and intelligence.

Ross worked as a staff writer for USA Today for several years. His reporting often explored the intersection of scientific research and social issues, which sometimes led to criticism regarding his interpretation and presentation of data. He was particularly noted for his coverage of the work of researchers like J. Philippe Rushton and Charles Murray, whose studies on racial differences in intelligence are widely debated and often criticized for methodological flaws and potential biases.

Ross's work has been cited both in support of and in opposition to arguments concerning racial disparities. Critics have accused him of selectively highlighting research that supports pre-existing biases and of oversimplifying complex scientific findings. Supporters, on the other hand, have argued that he provides a platform for exploring perspectives that are often suppressed by mainstream media. He has authored several books on related themes.
