Scientific American was the first American magazine of science
and technology (founded in 1845) and is still the best.
Every week, the Scientific American News Service distills America's
premier magazine on scientific discovery and technological innovation
to provide a feature story (800-1,200 words) and Science Scan
digest, two to three brief items (300-400 words each). Color photos
and graphics illustrate the stories.
The service is available for use in print and online.
Scientific American has expanded its coverage of high-interest
topics like biotechnology and information technology. The magazine,
recognizing the trend to convergence of science and business,
also has sharpened its focus on the everyday-life implications
and applications of new research.
Scientific American, always at the frontier, helps seperate science
fact from science fiction.
More than 120 Nobel laureates have written for Scientific American,
most of whom wrote about their prize-winning works years before
being recognized by the Nobel Committee. In addition to the likes
of Albert Einstein, Francis Crick, Jonas Salk and Linus Pauling,
Scientific American continues to attract esteemed authors from
many fields.
In 1986 Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, a German-based publishing
group, bought Scientific American, Inc.
Today, under the leadership of Editor in Chief John Rennie - who
at the age of 43 is just the seventh editor in Scientific American's
history--the magazine continues to identify and deliver the latest
developments in science and technology across a broad range of
fields. Rennie received the 2000 Sagan Award for Public Understanding
of Science, which is given annually "to honor those who have
become concurrently accomplished as researchers and/or educators,
and as widely recognized magnifiers of the public's understanding
of science."
Scientific American is a truly global enterprise. The magazine
publishes 15 foreign language editions and has a total of more
than 1,000,000 copies in circulation worldwide.
