KSJ Tracker is a new service for science journalists, created and funded by the Knight Science Journalism Fellowship Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They believe that if science reporters and editors have convenient and timely access to the work of peers across the country, they can better evaluate and improve their own performance. Their goal is to provide a broad sampling of the past day’s science news and, where possible, of news releases or other news tips related to publication of science news in the general circulation news media, mainly of the U.S. Their goal is to have a new batch of posts up each day by 1 pm Eastern time. KSJ Tracker ordinarily includes brief descriptions of news stories with occasional commentary, headlines and links to their publishers’ Web sites—some of which require registration to gain access. Priority goes to stories that report or analyze new scientific research, and to reports on science policy and issues. Less attention is given to brief reports and updates that add little to what has already been in the news. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
