AAAS/EurekAlert! Dismisses Blogs as Information Outlets
It seems that the mainstream media (MSM) aren’t the only ones looking down there noses at blogs are “legitimate” news outlets. The venerable AAAS’ EurekAlert! news service turned down Hsien to recieve embargoed press releases. Hmm, thought we had worked this out already. Mark Evans told all us B5-ers that we qualify for press credentials (he would know, as a journalist himself), that should be good enough. Oh wait she also has a Ph.D. Gee that sounds like a nice match. Lots of readers. Yeah. Great writer. Okay.
It’s time for all of us Science bloggers to stand up an be recognized! Panda’s Thumb is trying to rally the troops as well. They are encouraging all sci bloggers to fill out EurekAlert!’s little form and make note that you’re a blogger.
Let’s get their attenion, shall we?
