The public's understanding of science is fundamental in a world full of uncertainty, negationism and socio-environmental problems. It's not just about understanding concepts, but also the Nature of Science (NoS). Science communication in the media plays a crucial role in this process, but there are few studies on scientific texts that investigate their potential in relation to the NoS and whether there are differences between texts by journalists and scientists. Here, I analyze which aspects of the NoS appear in texts from a widely-circulated Brazilian newspaper and conclude that there are no differences between the two types of text.
