HEALTH MEDIA WATCH

 

Here is a column at a major journalism site suggesting to reporters how they

might find " resources to cover the story that will dominate much of this new

century: the world’s aging population. " The suggestion is to go to a website

that " promises to deliver the latest research-based information on a wide range

of age-related diseases, conditions, and issues. "

 

(The information on this site is so one-dimensional and light-years behind what

health reporters need to know these days that we’re seriously considering

nominating this column for " SCREAM OF THE YEAR " )
