Knowledge-based news...direct from the source

Newswise Community

The Newswise news site is designed to provide you with the easiest, most efficient, and most direct access to the news, often before it appears in the news media. Some of this information does not appear on other sites or is scattered about the web. Newswise creates a primary, comprehensive, searchable, and organized source of research, or knowledge-based news, for the public.

The Internet is changing the dynamics of news, allowing users to easily and instantly access news from multiple media outlets worldwide. The public news site on Newswise offers an integral component of this new trend, extending the opportunity to read research news as it is released from the source. The Internet is helping news consumers gain perspective on the important issues of the day, and Newswise adds another valuable source. We also provide the power and convenience of the web and email delivery.

Newswise Wires

A subscriber receives the wires via email. The wires include a summary and direct link to the full text of each news story. MedWire, SciWire, LifeWire, and BizWire deliver subject-specific news twice weekly. The Newswise Daily Wire (M-F), for those who wish to receive news each day, contains all stories contributed the previous day and is organized by subject. Samples are available for review: Daily Wire, MedWire, SciWire, LifeWire, BizWire.

All news is included in a full-text-searchable database where it remains available for years. The news is categorized to one of four libraries:

- SciNews: science research news
- MedNews: medical research news
- BizNews: business research news
- LifeNews: research and feature news covering social and behavioral sciences, arts and humanities, education, and popular culture.

In the online archive, you may browse the most recent news releases or use a sophisticated, full-text-searchable database to select news releases by topic, submitting institution, or other criteria.

News Archives

All news releases are posted to our archive and remain accessible for years. Our powerful search function allows you to retrieve stories by any keyword, source name, subject, date, or institution. As opposed to a less sophisticated keyword search, our archive is full-text searchable — each word in the full text of the release is indexed for searching.
