Benefits of using EurekAlert! for news release distribution

As a nonprofit service of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), EurekAlert!’s central mission is to make science news (and science news distribution) accessible. That’s why we offer one of the lowest subscription rates and highest values. By choosing EurekAlert!, you are supporting our nonprofit mission through our re-investment back to the journalism and sci-comm communities.

How EurekAlert! stacks up against other similar services:

  • All journalist-members are vetted and agree to our embargo policy

  • In a recent survey, 59% of the journalist respondents say they visit EurekAlert! multiple times a week and use story ideas found on EurekAlert! for their news coverage
  • EurekAlert! has consistently ranked 2nd among news sources on Altmetric
