Who Watches the Watchmen?
In this age of media laziness, sensationalism and bias, it's good to have one more set of discerning eyes watching the Fourth Estate. Kudos to Health News Review, a new Web site where people with expertise in health services and medicine review stories, grade them, and explain why they met or fell short of criteria measuring accuracy, balance, and completeness.
The site is suppose to help reporters and editors improve coverage and help others evaluate what to read. I wonder how busy reporters who already do scant research will stop to read Health News Review. Hopefully editors and journalism professors will make these types of sites required reading.
