Source diversity among journals cited in Science Times
A content analysis of The New York Times’ Science Times section from 1998 to 2012 found evidence of increased source diversity in use of scientific journals as news sources. Science Times increased the frequency at which it cited journals, the number of different journals that it cited, and the number of disciplines represented by cited journals. The results suggest that online availability of a wide array of scientific journals has changed sourc…
Embargoes and Science News
This paper proposes a model of the processes of the social construction of news by newspapers of studies reported in scientific and medical journals, through the use of embargoed access to the journals by the journalists. Substantial support for the model was found in data from a content analysis of 46,108 coverage decisions by newspapers for studies reported in four elite scholarly journals from June 1997 through May 1998. Associated Press cover…
Diffusion of News about Research
Analysis of media coverage of articles published in four elite scholarly journals, and the frequency of subsequent citation of those journal articles by other scholars, found evidence of news diffusion of the research to scientists. Breaking news coverage by twenty-four daily newspapers of articles from the Journal of the American Medical Association , Nature , the New England Journal of Medicine , and Science was associated with more frequent ci…
The Mars Meteorite: A case study in controls on dissemination of science news
Through interviews with participants and analysis of media reports, this paper reconstructs the preparations for the 1996 announcement of the discovery of evidence of fossilized life in a meteorite from Mars. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) attempted to manipulate the timing and manner of press coverage. Contrary to the stated rationale for embargoes on sc…
Changing Embargoes and the New York Times' Coverage of the Journal of the American Medical Association
A content analysis of coverage by The New York Times of medical research published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in 1989, 1990, and 1991 indicates that coverage of JAMA increased by 50 percent after the journal's publication date was shifted from Friday to Wednesday in April 1990. This result illustrates the effectiveness of embargoed early access to journals as an informa…
Ingelfinger, Embargoes, and Other Controls on the Dissemination of Science News
Scholarly journals exert considerable influence over how and whether scientists disseminate information about their research through the news media to the general public. Many journals use variants of the “Ingelfinger rule” to restrain scientists from disclosing research to journalists prior to publication. To allow reporters to develop stories before a journal article is printed, however, many journals distribute advance copies under an embargo …
