Eos
U.S. science-community trade press (Earth and space sciences)
Background
Eos began in 1920 as Transactions, American Geophysical Union, a way to share information about AGU's meetings and sections with members. It was published irregularly until 1959, when it became a quarterly. It later became a weekly tabloid newspaper for about 35 years. The last print tabloid issue came out in 2014, and Eos.org launched on 9 December 2014 as a free, open-access news site. AGU later moved the print magazine to a monthly schedule for members. Eos runs news, opinion, research summaries and features on topics such as climate, natural hazards, space science and the relationship between geoscience and politics. It is published under AGU's Scientific Integrity and Professional Ethics Policy. As the publication of a professional society, it generally reflects the views and interests of working scientists, including support for federal research funding and for evidence-based policy. Its coverage of the second Trump administration has included reports on proposed deep cuts to science agencies such as NSF and NASA, which Congress has so far largely resisted. Readers should know that Eos is not an independent commercial newsroom. It is an organ of an advocacy-minded scientific society, though its reporting is generally factual and relies on sourced research.
