Live Science

Science news website

Science news website

Live Science is a science news website. The publication features stories on a wide range of topics, including space, animals, health, archaeology, human behavior, and planet Earth. It also includes a reference section with links to other websites. Its stated mission is to inform and entertain readers about science and the world around them.

History

Live Science was originally made in 2004. It was acquired by TechMediaNetwork, later called Purch, in 2009. Purch consumer brands (including Live Science) were acquired by Future in 2018.

Reception

In 2011, the Columbia Journalism Reviews "News Startups Guide" called Live Science "a purebred Web animal, primarily featuring one-off stories and photo galleries produced at high speed by its mostly young staffers, almost all of whom have journalism degrees," noting that, "If you are looking for resource-intensive expositions of global warming, for instance, or thickly narrated journeys into the research process, LiveScience will disappoint. The site carries the big science news of the day, but its strength lies in the quirky diversity of its other content–oddball studies overlooked by major news organizations."

Awards

2007: Winner - Specialty Site Journalism, Large from the Online Journalism Awards.

2008, 2010: Honoree - Websites and Mobile Sites, Science from the Webby Awards.
