When does a journalist stop being a citizen? Coverage of the Occupy Wall Street Movement and the Arab Spring have recently highlighted this ethical dilemma, but journalistic paragon Edward R. Murrow grappled with it, too. Do members of the Fourth Estate have the right to publicly express their views at the barricades? Should they tend to the wounded and intervene in attacks/detention? What does it mean to be a fact-gathering reporter and also a commentary writer? Come meet a group of journalists who have experienced these challenges in their lives and work.

The future of health, science and technology journalism is being forged, in part, by several reporters and editors in the Boston area who have taken the lead in creating online news operations serving specific audiences in new ways. Some have figured out a way to become sustainable in a short time. Others are still searching for long-term viability. This event, held by the New England Science Writers, features journalists who have built robust audiences using different editorial strategies, staffing tactics and business models.

This free 90-minute webinar draws on a forthcoming series of Commonwealth Fund case studies of ACOs by Elliott Fisher, M.D., M.P.H., and colleagues at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.

This documentary examines how some doctors and hospitals are accomplishing what many thought impossible – providing quality health care at a reasonable cost. The film will be followed by a panel discussion on the New York City perspective on achieving a high performance health system.
