Seed Media Group: Portoflio
Portfolio
Our mission is two-fold: To raise global science literacy through innovation in media and communications; and to advance science by developing technologies to help research scientists around the world.
Our Media portfolio includes Seed, the award-winning popular science magazine in print and online, ScienceBlogs, our online community and the largest conversation about science on the web, and other ventures, such as museum exhibits, conferences, and international licensing, that leverage the Company's brands and asset library.
Named the magazine that "best captures the cultural zeitgeist" (Media Post) and one of the top magazines in the United States (National Magazine Awards), Seed stems from and offers its readership a distinctly 21st century view of the world. As science transforms the social, political, economic, aesthetic, moral, and intellectual landscape of our time, Seed delivers insights, opinions, profiles and reports from the frontline of this cultural shift, all presented alongside cutting-edge design and photography. In print and online, Seed is essential reading for the world's science and technology thought-leaders, and the magazine of the intellectually curious. Seed appears 6 times a year in print and is updated constantly at seedmagazine.com.
"The best comparison for Seed is the early years of Rolling Stone, when music was less a subject than a lens for viewing American culture."
--Utne Independent Press Awards (Winner, Science and Technology, 2007)
"My hands-down favorite science magazine."
--BoingBoing
"The magazine's tag line is 'Science Is Culture', and this glossy takes both very seriously. The writing assumes a basic or better understanding of scientific fundamentals, a rare case in a dumb-it-down media culture of respecting and challenging an audience. The layout and photography are cutting-edge, and its cultural discourse... is truly thought-provoking."
--Chicago Tribune (50 Favorite Magazines, 2008)

ScienceBlogs, our online community, is the web's largest and most vibrant conversation about science and society. With more than 100 blogs worldwide across 10 channels of content -- from life science to the environment -- ScienceBlogs offers its more than 1.5 million readers an intelligent and spirited daily dose of what's new in science and a community of like-minded individuals who share their passion and curiosities.
"[The bloggers are] eloquent, funny, sarcastic and really smart (the last kind of goes without saying). No sooner does a paper appear in a major (or even a minor journal) than they jump in with knowledgeable reaction."
--TIME.com
"To be sure, there have been previous periods when science captured the fancy of Americans who did not live or work at Cape Canaveral, the Livermore National Laboratory or Los Alamos. In the 1950's and 1960's, the space race produced a generation that said 'A-O.K.,' drank Tang and yearned to embody 'the right stuff.' In the 70's and 80's, magazines and newspaper sections were created to chronicle the rise of personal computers and the booming interest in what was called 'science fact.' ..."
