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.[1]

History

Live Science was originally made in 2004. It was acquired by TechMediaNetwork, later called Purch, in 2009.[2] Purch consumer brands (including Live Science) were acquired by Future in 2018.[3]

Reception

In 2011, the Columbia Journalism Review's “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 [sic] 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.”[4]

Awards

2007: Winner – Specialty Site Journalism, Large from the Online Journalism Awards.[5]

2008, 2010: Honoree – Websites and Mobile Sites, Science from the Webby Awards.[6][7]
