In this episode Alice and Naseem Miller, a health journalist, discuss the components of a good health news story. They emphasize the importance of clear and accurate headlines, as well as providing context in the body of the story. They also discuss the tension between providing accuracy and making a story engaging, and the importance of considering factors such as the context of a study, whether it has been done before, and the potential biases of sources.
