In praise of a good press release

Gary Schwitzer's HealthNewsReview is never bashful in criticizing medical news coverage and press releases, so it's fitting that Schwitzer offers high praise for a BMJ release that included appropriate caveats about a study's conclusions: "Did that clarity — that emphasis on the fact that association (does not equal) causation — make a difference in subsequent news stories based on the study or on the news release? It appears that may be the case in this instance."
