ScienceDaily is an American website launched in 1995 that aggregates press releases and publishes lightly edited press releases (a practice called churnalism) about science, similar to Phys.org and EurekAlert!.[1][2][3]
History
[edit | edit source]The site was founded by married couple Dan and Michele Hogan in 1995; Dan Hogan formerly worked in the public affairs department of Jackson Laboratory writing press releases.[4] The site makes money from selling advertisements.[4] As of 2010,[update] the site said that it had grown "from a two-person operation to a full-fledged news business with worldwide contributors".[citation needed] At the time, it was run out of the Hogans' home, had no reporters, and only reprinted press releases.[4] In 2012, Quantcast ranked it at 614 with 2.6 million U.S. visitors.[5]
Sections
[edit | edit source]As of August 2023, ScienceDaily mainly has five sections, Health, Tech, Enviro, Society, and Quirky, the last of which includes the top news.[6]
