 Speaking at the 2012 UK Conference of Science Journalists on a panel with [[Fiona Fox]] of theSMC, Campbell noted that he:
-:doesn’t employ any science journalists. He believes it is an advantage to have non-specialists writing to make it easy for anyone on the Northern line at 8am to understand. With 4.8 million readers to entertain and engage with each day, he plays to the audience and wants “more pictures of mice with ears on their backs”. His suggestion to aspiring science journalists was to become a general journalist first and find out what the public are interested in, rather than deciding to focus on science.<ref>Ian Le Guillou reports from the 2012 UK Conference of Science Journalists [Initiatives: Big Issues in Science – UKCSJ], ''Bluesci - Cambridge University Science Magazine'', Published: OCTOBER 3, 2012, accessed 10 August 2013</ref>
