Medical journalism is news reporting (as opposed to peer-review publication) of medical news and features. Medical journalism is diverse and reflects its audience. The main division is into (1) medical journalism for the general public, which includes medical coverage in general news publications and in specialty medical publications, and (2) medical journalism for doctors and other professionals, which often appears in peer-reviewed journals.[1]
The accuracy of medical journalism varies widely. Reviews of mass media publications have graded most stories unsatisfactory, although there were examples of excellence.[2][3] Other reviews have found that most errors in mass media publications were the result of repeating errors in the original journal articles or their press releases.[4] Some websites, such as Columbia Journalism Review and Hippocrates Med Review, publish and review medical journalism.
