Established in 1845, Scientific American remains the oldest continuously-published magazine in the United States. Redesigned in October 2010, the publication covers the most important and exciting research in science, health, technology, the environment, and society, exploring important ideas often months and years before other media recognizes their importance. The magazine publishes 15 foreign language editions, and regular sections include Forum, which provides a platform for external experts to comment on science policy; Science Agenda, where editors can discuss different science issues; and Insights, which profiles a scientist or researcher and analyzes their contribution to society. Other sections include Anti Gravity and Skeptic. Regular columns include The Science of Health and TechnoFiles. Publicists should feel free to pitch anytime, although they should avoid pitching individual products or new company officer announcements. They should focus on science-based stories that are better told by a journalist than an expert.
