Disclosing conflicts in medical stories

Gary Schwitzer's HealthNewsReview.org usually points out where journalists fail in medical coverage. But in this case, a guest blogger praises AP reporter Matthew Perrone for getting it right. "Under deadline pressure, Perrone did a terrific job on the story and, in writing about conflicts, went well beyond what most reporters do," William Heisel wrote. "Perrone's piece is a nice reminder of the importance of pointing out conflicts."
