SummaryThe purpose of this study is to explore the rarely addressed topic of pseudoscience in news stories. Pseudoscience refers to claims that are presented as scientific but lack supporting evidence or do not adhere to a valid scientific methodology or plausibility. The analysis of major Taiwanese newspapers reveals that the news topics most often involving pseudoscience claims include paranormal (or weird things) and (herbal) therapies that are not formal medical practices. In summary,the current study identifies and describes the categories of pseudoscience news,which sets forward the discussion of pseudoscience for future research in journalism and mass communication.
