Science & the Public Eye Follows Journalism's Change

I am following Janet Raloff's Science News blog. She is covering science journalism today and changes that public relations professionals are also following and adjusting to new realities.

Here are some of her recent blogs. Janet says: "Indeed, a number of scientists are now blogging with news of their work — or comments/analyses of interesting research by others. One problem, these often aren’t really written for the general public. A bigger obstacle: These science portals can be hard to find in a Web populated by gazillions of bloggers (and with millions more coming online each minute — or so it seems). For people with dial-up service (yes, there still are many such Internet users), flitting from site to site to reach each site can be cumbersome."
