Towards that end, journalists write and publish articles on the EHN site. These stories are provided to newspapers and other media through EHN's news service. These articles meet high journalistic standards of non-advocacy, and the content is under the control of the Editor in Chief.  EHN also offers timely, daily access to the hundreds of other articles on environmental health topics that are published each day in the world press, and its searchable archives date back to 2002. EHN does not accept funding from interest groups.

Our syndication services are available for free and are used by over 300 other websites around the world.
