We use here controversy and public controversy in the sense of the French “polémique publique”.) they report on weekly. Here are the results of a random survey for the month of September 2012 (when I first collected the relevant items): On the 20th, Le Monde titles «L’étude qui relance la polémique sur les OMG» (“The study that relaunched the controversy about GMOs.”) (All translations of mediaMedia (newspaper, television, InternetInternet) sources are ours as well as all translations of secondary source material unavailable in English.
