- Title
Medicine and the media: a synergistic combination?
- Authors
Dean, Paige H.; Zou, Vito Z.
- Abstract
As second year medical students, we took part in an interdisciplinary journalism project that examined the links between fishmeal and fish farming industries in various parts of the world. Through this experience, we came to acknowledge a synergistic pairing between the fields of journalism and medicine by examining the similarities and differences in terms of information gathering and knowledge translation. Many journalism principles can aid immensely in the translation of medical knowledge to the general population, including the ability to construct a relevant narrative, gather information with open-ended and closed-ended questions, and ultimately produce a story that is influential and applicable to the audience.
