Who Is Science Daily?

Science Daily 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!.

Is Science Daily a trustworthy source?

It's a perfectly fine source of news releases, but the site, in my view, didn't do nearly enough to alert readers that what they were reading was not a collection of independently reported news stories, but releases sponsored by institutions.

Who is the target audience of Science Daily?

Our audience includes journalists, but our readers are mainly students (from high school to graduate level), researchers, and other members of the public interested in science. In other words, we try to select stories that would have the widest possible appeal to such a diverse readership.
