What is HealthNewsReview.org?
HealthNewsReview.org is a website dedicated to:
Improving the accuracy of news stories about medical treatments, tests,
products and procedures.
Helping consumers evaluate the evidence for and against new ideas in
health care.
We support and encourage the ABCs of health journalism.

.
Where did the idea come from?
.
This website is modeled, in large part, upon the pioneering effort begun
by an Australian team that launched the Media Doctor Australia website in
2004. We are grateful to David Henry and the Media Doctor team for sharing
their ideas and perspectives with us. The Australian effort has also been
the inspiration for a Media Doctor Canada site, whose publisher, Alan
Cassels, has been very helpful in guiding us. Other sites are now active
in Germany, Hong Kong and Japan.
