Society for science was founded in 1921 with a mission to provide in-depth, trustworthy, accurate science journalism for the public. Since then, our offerings have grown to include our flagship print magazine science news and its website. We also created science news explores, where younger readers, their families and teachers can explore new discoveries across science, technology, engineering, and medicine, and learn how research helps us all understand our world and our lives. Through its science news learning program, the society provides science news magazine and supplementary educator guides to more than 5,800 middle and high schools across the u.s., making current science accessible to students and educators. Science news has more than 116,000 paid subscribers, and over 17 million unique online users in 2023. Science news has 5.1 million followers on twitter/x, and 2.7 million followers on facebook, with an additional 124,000 across other social channels.
