A must-listen episode of "Healthcare Blame Game" about how reporter bias and opinions are seeping into healthcare reporting.
Should healthcare industry reporters write opinion columns in major newspapers or share their personal views on the speaking circuit? In the latest episode of the "Healthcare Blame Game" podcast, I sit down with The University of Memphis professor and former editorial page editor of the The Commercial Appeal, Otis Sanford, to explore these questions. We go deep into the journalistic codes and ethics that traditionally kept reporter biases in check, and examine how the line between journalism and advocacy is increasingly blurred today. Whether you're a healthcare stakeholder or a journalist, this episode offers insights that might surprise you. Plus, do you really know what "op-ed" stands for? I'm looking at you Erika Grotto :) Also in this episode, Erika and I discuss The New York Times story about a man who threw a party after meeting his healthcare deductible and we share a special song he wrote for the occasion.
