Using open-ended interviews, researchers identified twelve themes concerning Web and e-mail use by science writers. The Web and e-mail "speed information" between sources, reporters, editors, and audiences. "Skepticism" about information quality leads science writers to urge practices of "good judgment" by Web users. A diagram illustrates ways "speeds information" is changing journalistic work. Suggestions concerning future research on diffusion of information are offered.
