Just back from New York, where one of the inaugural Mirror Awards honoring excellence in media industry reporting was given to HealthNewsReview.org.
The other awards went to:
Clive Thompson, New York Magazine
Philip Weiss, New York Magazine
David Carr, The New York Times
Andreas Kluth, The Economist
American Journalism Review
Dean Miller, Nieman Reports
Lifetime Achievement Award: Peter Bart, editor-in-chief, Variety
Details, including links to the winning work, are on the Mirror Awards website.
It’s been an eventful first year for HealthNewsReview – winner of a Knight-Batten Award for Innovations in Journalism, an e-Healthcare Leadership Award, and now the Mirror Award.
At least on the Chicago Tribune’s website, this story appeared in the Health section – not the local business or feature section. It didn’t address most of the things we think are crucial in a health story.
“Brown fat” has ignited a grease fire of media hype in recent weeks.This WebMD story missed a good opportunity to smother the flames.
We reviewed this story and a competing AP story on these new fibroid studies. Read and compare.
