Public Bioethics

An Intermediary Between Public Health and the Media

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A tangible connection exists between bioethics,
public health, and the print news media. The print
news media utilize bioethicists as "framers" of
issues for the public, because bioethicists clarify
complex public health issues for the media in easy
to understand, meaningful ways. However, multiple
bioethicists have disclosed, within professional
journals, that they are being misrepresented,
underrepresented, and/or represented in a negative
way by the print media. Because of this discontent,
bioethicists are considering whether or not to
continue their professional interaction with the
print news media. Within this book is a qualitative
content analysis which looks at eight national news
sources in the United States of America. Four of the
sources are national newspapers, and the remaining
four are weekly news magazines. Due in fact to the
aforementioned bioethicist discontent, this analysis
endeavored to uncover how the news media presents
bioethicists to their reader base.

Autorenporträt

Recently I completed a Master of Public Health degree at the
University of Nevada, Reno. Prior to seeking an advanced degree,
my focus was in dental hygiene, which I currently practice. I
desire to continue my education at the doctoral level, where I
will focus on health-ethics connections.
