SEJ joined with the Society of Professional Journalists Jan. 26, 2022, in sending a letter to the leaders of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy about a recently released report laying out the Biden administration's stance on ensuring scientific integrity in government. Much of the report still endorses existing widespread agency policies and practices that specify media access to government scientists should be "in coordination with supervisors and public affairs officials."
