GHI 04 – Global Health Reporting

Investing in quality health journalism has been neglected for the longest time – even though various global health crises and emerging global health issues have underlined the need for and importance of accurate research and reporting. Many journalists who for the longest time had no intersections to health reporting had to turn into health experts over night because crises had tremendously increased the interest of their audience in health coverage. Because of time pressure journalists with no or insufficient training in health sciences and policy have used dubious sources of information, f. e. untrustworthy social media posts, which have led to misinformation, miscommunication and distrust amongst communities. Publishing houses have furthermore missed to invest in international health reporting due to tight budgets and different reporting preferences. Besides, the lack of sustainable communication and cooperation between science, media and policy has further aggravated accurate health reporting. The panel will explore which challenges journalists around the world have been facing during the past health crisis, which support structures might be needed to train them and which international global health reporting grants could serve as a financial source for comprehensive research. It will also explore ways for science and media to bridge the current gap in communication and for media and the corporate sector to benefit from each other.
