Is there a difference between "to the press and general public" and "to the press and the public"?
My guess is that "general public" and "the public" are not interchangeable. The public doesn't necessarily mean general public; it can refer to the most of people in the scientific community, which general public are out of the door of science.
Am I on the right track?
==================================
Equally our editors, many of whom are women, have been coordinating our 21 journals under difficult circumstances while largely working from home for more than 6 months. In some cases, we have had five times as many submissions as usual, and have had to rapidly publish important work without compromising our usual quality checks or publication processes. We have encouraged and facilitated global medical conversations among the scientific community in our Comment and Correspondence sections, including research-based ideas, as a new way to advance understanding about COVID-19 as quickly as possible. Furthermore, we have attempted to ensure honest reporting of research findings, including to the press and general public.
