AHCJ has opened its call for entries for the Awards for Excellence in Health Care Journalism, recognizing the best health reporting in print, broadcast and online media.
Last year’s winners included a reporter’s revelation of astonishing conflicts of interest by scientists advocating for early detection of lung cancer, the exploration of a hidden world of illegal prescription drugs sold at swap meets, a narrative on a mechanic seeking to rebuild his life after an accident severed his arms, and a trip into the nightmarish world of a boy struggling with mental illness.
Entries can include a wide range of health coverage including public health, consumer health, medical research, the business of health care and health ethics.
The contest was created by journalists for journalists and is not influenced or funded by commercial or special-interest groups.
