Dear all,
Thank you again for your willingness to join this coalition and work with us to defend public health! Here is a link to a Doodle poll below for our next meeting, the week of February 10th.…

In addition to national mainstream media outreach, can we also focus on public eduation/local outreach? And perhaps generate a list of these smaller outlets? I have a friend who has a podcast produced by a local NPR station on stories of illness, acciddent and recovery and she would be happy to interview someone about public health through…

DPH Communications Committee 8 weeks agoSome updates:
1. I occasionally write for a San Francisco news site called 48 Hills, where I’ve known the editors for years and they kindly let me rant about nearly anything I like. So of course I had to rant about the gang of crackpots and grifters Trump wants to have lead federal health agencies. There are a couple I couldn’t get to (like Dr.…

DPH Communications Committee 8 weeks ago~25 public health, science and general interest podcasts with contact info and descriptions; good possibilities for pitching science communicators around Defend Public Health's key messages and goals. Thanks to a colleague for helping me compile this.

Thanks for putting this list together. This is a new podcast I found that is pretty good: https://www.publichealthisdead.com. It’s Canadian but still discusses the failures of public health. It hit the #1 Science spot in the Apple Podcasts Canada charts during its week of debut.

DPH Communications Committee 8 weeks agoAloha, team! One thing we didn’t have time to discuss during our Zoom meeting yesterday that I want to pursue in the relatively near future is media spokesperson training for our key science/medical folks. I don’t know everyone that well yet, but in my experience a lot of medical folks (and others who work in highly technical fields)…

Hi Bruce! I’ve gone through media training before and I believe Jennifer has a background in PR if I’m not mistaken. Happy to jump in to help.

Reply to Coverage of RFK Jr. letter
FYI, The Hill did a story much like the NY Times, and that in turn was essentially copied/summarized by HuffPost and KFF Health News. Nothing terribly different than what you’ve all seen, so I won’t bother to post the links, but overall this got a decent amount of traction. I’m disappointed Politico and NPR did nothing, even though they got…

I forgot to mention that this site does not yet work on a phone. There is would cost me $179/month to get the software for the phone app and I have not paid for it. If we all like it, it would be worth paying for.

Interesting that they mention this letter from the MAHA folks. 5 names listed with some loose affiliation with an elite institution and “500 names” that remain invisible.…
