Keepin it short today because I’m on vacation! (well, staycation) but I thought this piece on why health care journalists should interview more nurses, from the Shorenstein Center’s Journalist’s Resource, was suuuper interesting — based on interviews with ten health journalists, two major reasons why you don’t see nurses as sources a lot is because hospital PR departments usually offer doctors as sources, and also apparently journalists “often don’t really know what nurses do”!! Which seems crazy to me?
