NOTE TO READERS: When this project lost substantial funding at the end of 2018, I lost the ability to continue publishing criteria-driven news story reviews and PR news release reviews - once the bread-and-butter of the site going back to 2006. The 3,200 archived reviews, while still educational, are getting old and difficult for me to technically maintain on the back end of the website. So I am announcing that I plan to remove these reviews from the site by April 1, 2021. The blog and the toolkit - two of the most popular features on the site - will remain. If you wish to peruse the reviews before they disappear, please do so by the end of March 2021. After that date you may still be able to access them via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine - https://archive.org/web/.

Year-ender: links to all 44 articles I published in 2020 - a year of too-frequent distortion, deceit and misinformation, worst I’ve seen in my 47-year career. https://www.healthnewsreview.org/2020/12/reflections-on-2020-you-cant-mask-this-reality/

“The distinction between what we do know and what we do not yet understand should be explained more often and more clearly in our coverage,” said @garyschwitzer. Journalists need to get past press releases from drug companies, but also debunk conspiracies. https://buff.ly/2LX9MVo
