Almost every day, I get several press releases on new studies, surveys and medical advancements. Most of the time, they don't warrant a story, due to a lack of clear scientific findings or scrutiny, an inherent financial interest or irrelevance.
The
Chicago Tribune's public editor published an interesting
column on how medical stories get on the
Tribune's front page.
It's an interesting read. It talks about the different issues medical stories bring up and how editors weigh them.
