History and profile

The first print issue was published in January 1981. In June 2003, the publication converted to a Web-based format. Microwave News is independent and is not aligned with any industry or government agency. [1]

A complete archive of the print issues is available in PDF format at no charge from the Microwave News Web site. [2] PDFs of the Web editions may also be downloaded. [3]

A 1990 Time magazine profile of Microwave News and its editor, Louis Slesin, said that the newsletter is "meticulously researched and thoroughly documented." [4] [ verify ]

In his 2000 book Voodoo Science , Robert L. Park described Microwave News as "an influential newsletter devoted entirely to the EMF-health issue" (Page 141) but cited the American Physical Society, stating "Paul Brodeur and Microwave News in particular, had given the public a seriously distorted view of the scientific facts." (Page 158) [5]
