Newswise — Increasing interest in health care has lead reporters to seek more sources for health news than ever before. And, as more and more consumers use the web to research health information, the growing demand for health news has an increasing influence on the health industry. In response to these trends, Newswise has developed a new category for medical news called Health Marketplace.
The new Health Marketplace section provides Newswise users with a resource for medical product innovation, news about developments in the health care industry, and consumer-focused information. Journalists can use the Health Marketplace section to find leads for their health news reporting, and consumers will find information about new developments in the technology and delivery of health care to inform their own health decisions. Health Marketplace will also include product announcements, clinical trial news, health experts, and announcements regarding meetings, conferences, grants, and funding.
To learn how to participate in the launch of Health Marketplace, see this one-pager on submission and eligibility requirements.
This new category is a significant expansion of Newswise services in medical and health news distribution. Newswise has been delivering high-quality news, including research results, feature pitches, trends and experts since its inception in 1991. Current opt-in subscribers are now more than 20,000 strong, and all major media outlets are represented. Health Marketplace will now add a new level of granularity to the organization of Newswise content.
“The opportunity for journalists to receive a single daily email with health care and medical news, and select and focus on those stories of most value to their constituents, is greatly appreciated,” says Roger Johnson, PhD scientist, former science writer, and founder of Newswise. “Journalists at a wide variety of media outlets, from broadcast, print, and the web use Newswise source material for their coverage.”
Recognizing the challenge of reaching reporters in the current dynamic media environment, Newswise has also invested heavily in social media, and is expanding its reputation as a reliable news source through developments like the addition of the Health Marketplace section.
