EurekAlert logo

Ivan Oransky reports that the Motherboard web site and its parent Vice have lost access to embargoed EurekAlert! content for six weeks after jumping the gun on a Science paper's release. He quotes AAAS chief communications officer Ginger Pinholster: "We very much appreciated Motherboard’s swift response to the problem as well as their public apology … however, we determined that reporters at Motherboard had, in fact, been involved in a prior embargo violation."
