Like other medical professions, nursing is highly specialized, giving journalists the opportunity to include more voices in their health and medical stories. Nurses in different specialties can offer perspective not only about patient care, but also clinical research, ethical issues and management.
“Nurses have a different perspective than physicians,” Diana Mason , a nurse, a professor at the Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement at the George Washington University School of Nursing, and the former editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Nursing, said in an interview with The Journalist’s Resource in 2020. “If you’re not interviewing a nurse, you may be missing the best part of the story.”
