2009 winners named in health journalism awards
Investigations into questionable autism treatments, the safety of generic drugs, claims denials by disability insurers and the global trade in smuggled cigarettes were among the top winners in this year’s Awards for Excellence in Health Care Journalism.
The 2009 awards, announced today by the Association of Health Care Journalists, recognize the best health reporting in nine categories, covering print, broadcast and online media. The contest, in its sixth year, received more than 250 entries.
Links to the winning entries are available and AHCJ members also can read questionnaires about how the winning entries were reported and written.
