Good grief! After more than five years, when still young medical blogs have joined forces to stop the American Medical Association from sequestering its news to members only, the organization has finally realized that information wants to be free, and that its in-house news organ should be scrutinized by the general public. So, the AMA now asks “journalists, bloggers, policy experts” to come and visit amednews.com:
…anyone following the health-care scene – will find amednews.com an important in-depth reference, offering tables, charts and essential tools such as:
•Listings of news stories by health plan and region of the country
•Headlines via e-mail or RSS
•Multimedia features on stories of enduring relevance
•An interactive health-plan earnings tool on the nation’s publicly traded health plans
•A convenient new mobile version with full text, pinch and zoom, topics and search
The From the Vault page offers full-page news articles of enduring relevance and practical value. The page showcases a rotating selection of archival Editor’s picks, which features a special search targeted at interesting stories previously unavailable.
