The aim of the blog is to “cover the latest cancer research, including that funded by the charity” and highlight relevant material “debunking myths and media scares”. The three Bloggers are Henry Scowcroft, Kat Arney and Oliver Childs. Henry studied Biochemistry at university and eventually worked his way into science journalism, Kat has been with Cancer Research UK since 2004 and previously spent six years as a Laboratory Researcher, Oliver studied Natural Sciences at Bath University. After graduating, he then spent several years working in science publishing in various editorial roles, including as Copy Editor of Nature Reviews Cancer. Blog posts are news and research-led and are highly scientific and factual. Posts can be sectioned into dozens of categories regarding cancer news, information, policy, and research, and can be viewed by type of cancer. The blog would be of interest to the general public as well as healthcare professionals. PR opportunities lie within scientific research placement. Although the blog posts do cover Cancer Research UK’s own news and progress, they do also cover external research. Henry states that the team wish to receive 'embargoed, peer-reviewed scientific content preferred. We only accept guest post offers under exceptional circumstances, and cannot endorse any products'. The team can be reached by email. Awards: 2018 - UK Blog Awards, Health & Social Care - Business (nominated)

    The Chronicle of Philanthropy

    The Chronicle of Philanthropy provides news and information for non-profit executives, fundraisers, and professional employees of foundations. The publication covers trends in giving, fundraising, grant making, volunteers, management and professional development. Regular features include profiles of foundations, updates on federal and state regulations, tax and court rulings, and a calendar of events. Unless something is urgent, they prefer contact by email rather than phone. Press Releases should be relevant to nonprofit practitioners across the country, and if there's been a recent article about a similar development at a different organization, they probably won’t cover it again soon. They like: stories about best or innovative practices in fundraising and managing organizations, profiles of interesting charity leaders, fundraisers, and donors, and new trends in giving or fundraising. They usually don’t cover: galas, celebrity events, groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings, and gifts of less than $1 million. The Chronicle’s Opinion section is designed to spark robust debate about all aspects of the nonprofit world. They welcome Op-Ed submissions that provide new insights and promote innovative thinking about leadership, fundraising, grant-making policy, and more. They especially appreciate articles about timely topics. Most of the pieces are about 1,000 to 1,200 words.
