It took a few days for Tara Haelle to hear about the EurekAlert news-release service's outage. Now that it's back, she's questioning its value: "The press releases in EurekAlert! often represent those able to afford to promote their studies and they may or may not choose the 'best' studies. Deciding which findings to write about should be predominantly a journalist’s job, uninfluenced by the offering of press releases out there (even though we know that’s not reality)."
