Our web site has a summary of the day's 'science in the news' if you're
interested, but not an actual 'press cuttings' board.
I have funnily enough just been talking to Rutherford Appleton Labs who also
do the same, although their service is slightly less broad in scope as it is
geared towards their particular interests.
We have a board that displays all our own press coverage, which is by its
nature science-y, but I'm not sure of the copyright issues!

To all members of the group...(apologies for cross-posting)
At Techniquest we try to offer a newsboard featuring 'Science in the
newspapers'. At the moment we just look in the papers we subscribe to and
the local newspapers but it is quite time consuming and doesn't always
provide enough material to change the board regularly and keep it topical.
Ideally we want to display a range of cuttings from all sorts of papers,
tabloids and broadsheets so the articles have a range of opinions and
reporting style to appeak to all types of visitor.
a) Does anyone know if there is a press cuttings service that looks in all
daily newspapers for science news and if so, how much it costs to subscribe
to it
b) Is it any infringement of copyright to have a board that displays
newspaper or magazine clippings in a public place?
Does anyone else do this in their centre/museum/organisation?
Thanks for you help
