Shark News 5: October 1995

Shark Info
Shark Specialist Group member Erich Ritter has just launched a new Zurich-based media information service. Shark Info will provide clearing house to convey accurate and interesting information from the shark research community to educate the general public through the news media. Initially focused on German-speaking Europe, the service will make articles and photographs available free of charge to newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations. Its objective is to ensure that the increasing public interest and awareness in sharks and rays is maintained without the need to resort to sensationalist and inaccurate reporting.
