Swine Flu resources from ReportingonHealth.org

ReportingonHealth.org, a new Web 2.0 community for journalists covering health funded by The California Endowment, has just posted new resources on covering the unfolding swine flu outbreak, Vikki Porter writes. This guide provides a general overview of swine flu and the best Web sites for statistics, public health updates, scientific and policy information and blogs about the disease. ReportingonHealth bloggers Barbara Feder Ostrov, former medical writer for the San Jose Mercury News, and Bill Heisel, investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times, offer fresh angles for covering the story here and here. Later this week, ReportingonHealth will examine how ethnic media in the United States are covering swine flu.
