Welcome to our new website
Welcome to the new Atomic Reporters website. We’ve outgrown our old online home that introduced Atomic Reporters upon our inauguration in 2013. This new site offers us fresh opportunities to keep building an information hub serving journalists, other media workers, to bring more understanding to the atomic file.
It’s been eighty years since Oppenheimer’s Trinity test in the desert known as dead man’s journey in New Mexico and no sign of the chapter it opened ending; nuclear weapon modernisation is in full bore; the taboo against threatening to use nuclear weapons has been broken as arms control hangs by a thread; discussion about the utility and future of nuclear power has become more heated; time will soon silence the voices of the hibakusha, survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Twenty-five centuries after the speculation of Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus first acknowledged the atom, the profound pivotal role it occupies in today’s world deserves better reporting to address it. Atomic Reporters is committed to meeting the goal by acting as a non-partisan (except for its defence of press freedom) broker of evidence-based information and a forum where specialists and journalists can learn from each other. Tell us what you think of the new website and how we can make it better.
You'll find our old website still running at www.atomicreporters.com serving as an archive and reference.
