Newswise is a collaborative resource for journalists launched in 1991. It gathers research news (Science, Medical, Life, Business and Marketplace news releases) into one virtual place. This allows journalists to use data management tools to access information from various research institutions. Newswise delivers the news in a digest form (such as the Newswise DailyWire). It goes to journalists via e-mail, so they can review it quickly to select the stories that interest them on Newswise’s website, where the articles are in a full-text searchable database.
Founder
Newswise was founded in 1991 by Roger Johnson[1]. He started Newswise as "SciNews-MedNews" from an extra room in his D.C.-area home in 1991. He began on CompuServe because the World Wide Web didn't exist then. CompuServe might not sound like a good place to be today, but in 1991 it was a major commercial online service provider, especially for journalists. Now Newswise has a team and staff that handles the working of the website, and the site provides the latest research articles to journalists registered with them.
