On a trip to NYC last week, I visited Ivan Oransky at Scientific American. This week he announced he is leaving SciAm to become executive editor of Reuters Health.
I also visited Diana Mason, editor of the American Journal of Nursing. She announced that yesterday was her last day on that job.
Diana will have an endowed chair at the Hunter–Bellevue School of Nursing at the City University of New York. She will launch a center for health media and policy.
Ivan and Diana are two good friends, and two terrific journalists, both headed to exciting new opportunities. We wish them both the best.
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.
