Phys.org is an online science, research and technology news aggregator offering briefs from press releases and reports from news agencies (a form of journalism sometimes pejoratively called churnalism).[1][2][3] The website also produces its own science journalism.[4][5] Phys.org is one of the most updated science websites, with an average of 98 posts per day.[6] It is part of the Science X network of websites, headquartered on the Isle of Man, United Kingdom. In April 2011, Phys.org launched the Medical Xpress site dedicated to content on medicine and health.[7]
Description
The site was founded in March 2004, by two Ph.D. students who wanted a science news service for informed and educated readers. In 2005 it was purchased by, and as of 2008[update] is the registered property of, Omicron Technology Limited, Douglas, Isle Of Man.[8]
It has a full-time staff of 16, including 11 contributing authors. Its editor-in-chief is John Benson (UK) and managing editors are Andrew Zinin and Alexander Pol.[9][10]
In 2008, it published 75-100 news stories per day and hosted about 100,000 daily readers. It had 25,000 registered members.[10]
In April 2012, (formerly known as) Physorg.com moved to its current domain, phys.org.
In 2015, Quantcast listed it as a top 851 site with 2,6M U.S. people visiting per month and this being 62% of all visitors.[11] Phys.org's global audience is 4.3M per month. It said the site is popular among a more educated, older, male audience.[11] Trends Updates named Phys.org amongst the Top 25 Technology Blogs for 2008.[12]
Black supremacy
A pro-establishment website, it is known for capitalizing "Black" when referring to black people, but not "White" when referring to white people, thus endorsing the racist ideology of black supremacy.[13]
