How do I advertise with New Scientist?
For further information about our advertising packages, please see our media information. Find this at any time by clicking the "Advertise" link at the bottom of every page.
How can I contact the author of an article?
A list of contact information for New Scientist is located here. You can email the section the article appeared in for further information. (Features, News, Opinion, Letters, Feedback or The Last Word.
Remember that the easiest way to contact companies mentioned in the text of an article is to call directory enquiries for a number, as our journalists are very busy and may take some time to get back to you with information. Likewise, reports or articles referred to in news stories are best obtained from the publisher of the individual report or article, rather than New Scientist, which is simply writing about the report.
I have a product/discovery I would like New Scientist to cover. Where should I send the information?
Press releases should be sent to our news desk. We regret that due to the number of press releases received, a personal reply will not usually be possible.
How do I get in touch with an expert on my illness?
The staff at New Scientist magazine are not medical experts, and as such we are not equipped to advise on medical matters. If you have questions about your illness, then you should approach your family doctor, who will be best placed to advise you about your own condition.
One of your articles mentioned a product I would like to buy, how can I get in touch with the supplier?
If an article mentions a product, the article itself will usually contain all the necessary information to track down the research team or company developing the product, and online articles will often have a link. It is unlikely that we have any further details we would be able to disclose.
I would like to have my letter published in the magazine's Letters section. What are the terms and conditions?
Letters to the Editor are for publication. Include your full postal address and telephone number, and a reference (issue, page number, title) to articles. We reserve the right to edit letters. Reed Business Information reserves the right to use any submissions sent to the letters column of New Scientist magazine, in any other format. If you want to send a private message about the content of an article, you should contact the appropriate department using this form. Due to the volume of correspondence we receive, we regret that we cannot guarantee a reply.
