Subject: Signs of the Times project (re)published – thank you!Hi there! You’re getting this note because you were featured in an interactive multimedia storytelling project called “Signs of the times.” It ran on Tuesday but there were some problems with how the interactive piece displayed on external workstations (outside our newsroom). The problems have been fixed and you should be able to see it now. Check it out, send it around and let folks know! It turned out great and I thank you all for your amazing contributions.
Thanks again, and we appreciate your contributions!

At the meeting I’ve referred to as this first blip on the radar, I revealed my contact with the New York Civil Liberties Union but didn’t reveal my contact with the National Writers Union, which had responded positively to my request for support.
A survey of members of the Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ), conducted in partnership with AHCJ, and the report, The State of Health Journalism in the U.S., authored by Gary Schwitzer of the University of Minnesota School of Journalism, detail how the financial pressures on the media industry and the fierce competition to break news on new and expanding platforms on the Internet are affecting the quality of health reporting.
