Last week, the Guardian<\/a> launched a network of science blogs<\/a> with a goal<\/a> that perfectly mixed science with blog: \u201cWe aim to entertain, enrage and inform.\u201d Now, on the paper\u2019s website, you can find hosted content from four popular and well-respected blogs: \u201cLife and Physics<\/a>\u201d by Jon Butterworth, a physics professor at University College of London who does work with the Large Hadron Collider<\/a> at CERN; \u201cThe Lay Scientist<\/a>,\u201d the pop-science-potpourri blog by researcher and science writer Martin Robbins<\/a>; the science policy blog \u201cPolitical science<\/a>\u201d by former MP Evan Harris<\/a>; and \u201cPunctuated Equilibrium<\/a>,\u201d by the evolutionary biologist known as Grrrl Scientist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The idea is both to harness scientific expertise and, at the same time, to diffuse it. \u201cThis network of blogs is not just for other science bloggers to read; it\u2019s not just for other scientists,\u201d says Alok Jha<\/a>, a science and environment correspondent who came up with the idea for the network and now \u2014 in addition to his reporting and writing duties \u2014 is overseeing its implementation<\/a>. The network is intended to reach \u2014 and entertain\/enrage\/inform \u2014 as many people as possible. \u201cWe\u2019re a mainstream newspaper,\u201d he notes, \u201cso everything we do has to come about through that prism.\u201d The network also marks another small shift in the media ecosystem: the media behemoth and independent bloggers, collaborating for audiences rather than competing for them.<\/p>\n

If that sounds familiar, it may be because the new network is a direct response to Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger<\/a>\u2019s goal of journalistic \u201cmutualization.<\/a>\u201d (Okay, okay: mutualiSation.) \u201cIt\u2019s good to have criticism from scientists when we do things wrong,\u201d Jha notes, \u201cbut it\u2019s also good to have them understand how we write things \u2014 and give them a chance to do it.\u201d Guardian reporters don\u2019t spend days in the control room at CERN; someone who does, though, is Jon Butterworth. Having him and his fellow scientists as part of an extended network of Guardian writers benefits both the paper and its readers. \u201cThe science desk here will essentially become a channel for these guys to report from their worlds they\u2019re all seeing,\u201d Jha notes. The scientists \u201care going to lend a bit of their stardust to us\u201d; in return, they\u2019ll get exposure not just to a broader readership, but to a more diverse one, as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
