About Science News
Mission and History
For almost a century, Science News journalists have covered advances in science, medicine and technology for the general public, including the 1925 Scopes “monkey” trial, the advent of the atomic age in 1945, the space race, and the revolution of genetic engineering from the discovery of DNA to today’s gene-editing technology. We were founded as an independent nonprofit in 1921 by newspaper magnate E.W. Scripps and zoologist W.E. Ritter, who wanted to improve the quality and accuracy of science journalism. We remain true to that mission today. We believe in the power of knowledge and the free flow of information to build informed, enlightened and engaged communities. Our mission is to provide independent, unbiased coverage of science and give people the tools to evaluate the news and the world around them.We connect with audiences through our print magazine and the esportiva bet:royalslots88.online website. Our sister publication, , makes science accessible for people ages 9 and up, while teachers and students in almost 5,000 high schools read us in print and online through esportiva bet:Science News Learning

In support of our mission to serve the public interest by providing accurate, unbiased coverage of news in science, medicine and technology, we follow widely recognized standards of journalism developed and adhered to by major news organizations. That includes being honest and transparent in our work and in our interactions with sources and readers. Accuracy is central to our pursuit of the truth, and we make great effort to ensure that our work is factually correct, fairly presented and in context. We strive for professional impartiality while reporting thoroughly and comprehensively. We are accountable for all we do. We don’t pay for interviews, and we pay our own way. We credit the sources of information that wasn’t generated by our independent newsgathering. We don’t use pseudonyms, composite characters or fictional names, ages, places or dates. In the rare instance in which we allow a source to remain anonymous, we explain why, typically because a person’s safety or livelihood would be at risk.Transparency in funding
We subscribe to standards of editorial independence adopted by the Institute for Nonprofit News, of which we are a member:Corrections
