Founded in 1880, with seed money from Thomas Edison, Science continues to be at the center of the very best in research across the sciences, with articles that consistently rank among the most cited in the world. Science articles are peer-reviewed, and written to appeal to both scientist and layman. Regular issue features include a news and comment section, book reviews, and coverage of scientific meetings and seminars. The News section features late-breaking news and in-depth news analysis. Compass, an opinion section, publishes letters and commentary by scientists on current science issues. The TechSight section focuses on leading edge techniques and technologies. Topics include: bioinformatics, genome sequencing, and protein sequencing. This section is published in the third issue every month. The Research section features original investigative research and reporting. Other departments include NetWatch, This Week in Science, ScienceScope, Random Samples and New Products.

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.

Discovery Communications is a family of networks providing a wide array of science and technology-based documentaries, specials, and series. It features original productions of a scientific and investigative nature, in addition to features on nature, wildlife, and human biology and history. In 2010, the network received three Emmys including Outstanding Nature Program, Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Research and Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Cinematography-Nature. ** A vast majority of programming aired on Discovery is developed by producers outside the network. As a result, it is suggested that most shows should be contacted via network headquarters in Silver Spring, MD. ** The outlet offers RSS (Really Simple Syndication).

This website covers molecular biology research and diagnostics. The fundamentals of working with bloggers are the same as with traditional journalists at traditional media outlets: respect their schedules; take time to read their material to learn their interests; and only contact them if/when they want to be contacted. You will also find that if a blogger is a journalist for another outlet(s), Cision tracks their contact preferences there as well. The outlet offers RSS (Really Simple Syndication).
