National Geographic led the list of National Magazine Award finalists with seven nominations, the American Society of Magazine Editors announced today. Wired received three nominations and Scientific American was awarded two.
That put science journalism in a leading position among the 62 finalists in 23 categories. (The language is a bit confusing. "Finalists" are the nominees among which a winner will be chosen in each category at a dinner in New York on May 2.)
National Geographic received its honors in the categories of general excellence in print and digital media, and...

Curtis Brainard at the Columbia Journalism Review's The Observatory has talked to Discover magazine for a reaction to the recent blogger exodus that Deborah Blum covered here at the Tracker.
A week ago, news broke that Ed Yong (his blog is Not Exactly Rocket Science) and Carl Zimmer (The Loom) were leaving Discover for National Geographic's new Phenomena blogging collective to be run by National Geographic science editor Jamie Shreeve. Phil Plait (Bad Astronomy)...

National Geographic announced today that it will be launching a new science blog network, titled Phenomena, featuring four high-octane science bloggers - Virginia Hughes (Only Human), Brian Switek (Laelaps), Ed Yong (Not Exactly Rocket Science) and Carl Zimmer (The Loom).

The other day I was watching CBS Sunday Morning with my (almost) five-year-old, delighted that he was willing to click away from Cartoon Network for a few minutes to watch the news. We hadn't been watching five minutes when Charles Osgood introduced a segment on pole dancing. I dove for the clicker as we watched a sinewy blonde corkscrew down a silver pole for several agonizing seconds before the cable box lurched back to Quick Draw McGraw. Henry didn't ask what that was, or why I'd changed the channel. And I didn't volunteer an explanation.
We've had similar experiences while watching the Science Channel's How It's Made, one of Henry's favorite shows. (Henry knows what's at the center of a bowling ball. Do you?) Interesting shows about the manufacture of...

Ivan Oransky broke the story at Retraction Watch, and now National Geographic confirms it.
National Geographic "has assumed management of day-to-day operations for Scienceblogs.com, expanding a relationship with Seed Media Group that started when National Geographic took on ad sales responsibility for Scienceblogs.com in 2009."
