There's little question that health reform has dominated the news this summer, but is the coverage tackling the right issues? A "Talking Health" webinar, presented by the Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ), Columbia Journalism Review (CJR), The Commonwealth Fund, and the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, revealed what top journalists think of the coverage of this complicated policy debate. The webinar was held on Wednesday, Sept. 9.
During the event, moderator Mike Hoyt, editor of the CJR, directed audience questions to panelists Kay Lazar of the Boston Globe, Karen Tumulty of Time, Robert Laszewski of Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review, and Trudy Lieberman, director of the Health and Medicine Reporting Program at CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, and AHCJ board president.
