Coretopic:Health Reform

The health reform pages of the AHCJ site are intended to help health care journalists understand the wide range of concepts incorporated in the implementation of health care reform. Health care journalists curate the resources on these pages specifically for other reporters. In addition to resources, you’ll find story ideas, tip sheets, wisdom from others in the field and commentaries designed to help journalists at all levels, whether you’re just entering the profession, moving to health reform from another beat or have been reporting and editing on health for many years.

Joseph BurnsJoseph Burns (@jburns18), AHCJ’s health reform topic leader, is writing blog posts, tip sheets, articles and gathering resources to help AHCJ members cover the complex implementation of health reform.

If you have questions or suggestions for future resources on the topic, please send them to reform@healthjournalism.org.
