The Center has replicated the 20-year-old original study to determine what progress has been made. Twenty years later\, are nurses used as sources more often in health news stories in print media? \nThis three-phase study sought to answer the following questions: the actual replication of the original Woodhull Study Publication that examined journalists’ use of nurses as sources in leading print media of the day; a qualitative study of journalists’ experiences using nurses as sources in health news stories; and an analysis of the tweets from the top 50 schools of nursing. \nThe quantitative research of the 2018 study is being conducted with the Berkeley Media Studies Group.
