NASA Media Policy Now A Standard For Other Agencies

Chairmen Request Further Information on Science Media Policies

“In the wake of the Hansen story, NASA adopted a new media policy that was designed to provide some protections to scientists enabling them to talk about their work. Following the release of that new policy, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Dr. John Marburger, wrote to all the federal agencies conducting science and shared a copy of the NASA policy, encouraging them to review their rules and consider adopting like standards as needed.”
