From HealthNewsReview: For nine years, HealthNewsReview has hosted a one-of-a-kind list of health care industry-independent experts for journalists. The list has now been revised with new names, and a new podcast discusses the history of the list and why it is so important.
“We who have worked on the list believe that journalism would be better, and the public would be better informed, if more reporters turned to this list more often. The chances would then be improved that news stories would present a more balanced view of the tradeoffs between potential benefits and harms of interventions, and delivered more evidence than vested interest opinion.”
