Medical stories you’d like to see
As I transition back to my first love, health care reporting, I’m trying to find ways to go beyond traditional disease-of-the-week reporting.
I recently had an epiphany of sorts.
Besides, one of our copy editors held my Fraggle Rock toy hostage until I blogged. That and my wooden, brightly painted Oaxaca crab are the only things that make my desk homely.
But I digress.
It’s my opinion that anything health related our readers can get easily online or out of a magazine is probably not gonna keep them reading our paper. Yet, in many cases, the only medical trend stories about Oklahoma that appear are likely to come from us.
So, given that you can get information from national sources on the proper amount of (INSERT VITAMIN NAME/DRUG NAME/THERAPY NAME HERE) to take/undergo (not that there’s certainty or agreement in much of this) and other general health topics, what would you like to see The Oklahoman’s two medical writers cover?
What stories would mean the most to you? What would you like to read about that you can’t get from national media? General or specific — it doesn’t matter.
I can’t promise I’ll write these stories, but I’ll listen to/read your responses.
