Media Resources
Animal-Free Science Advocacy has created Media Guidelines for Reporting on Animal Use in Medical Research along with a short video to assist journalists with accurate reporting about animal use in medical research. The purpose of these guidelines is to encourage informed and accurate reporting on the complex issue of animal use in biomedical research.
US Media Professionals may find A Journalist’s Resource Guide to Reporting on Science, Health, and Medicine by Phoenix Zones Initiative of use.
Also on this page you can find our most recent media releases along with industry news of interest. Our news articles can be found here.
Prior to 2024, Animal-Free Science Advocacy were known as Humane Research Australia. Some of our website’s historical resources contain reference to our old brand name.
