地方电视新闻仍然是美国人的主要新闻来源，也是消费者健康信息的主要来源。本研究探讨了为什么当地电视台的健康记者涵盖特定的主题，并评估了为什么健康新闻的新闻采集做法往往不同于一般的任务记者的规范的新闻采集做法。对来自不同地理区域和媒体市场的卫生记者进行了15次深入电话采访。当地医院的影响力和个人对健康话题的兴趣往往决定了记者制作的健康内容。记者们表示，除了新闻编辑室的其他职责之外，很难报道健康问题。
Local television news remains a primary news source for Americans and is a key source of consumer health information. This study explores why local television health journalists cover particular topics and assesses why health journalism newsgathering practices often differ from the normative newsgathering practices of general assignment reporters. Fifteen in-depth telephone interviews were conducted with health journalists from varying geographical regions and media markets. Influence from local hospitals and personal interest in a health topic often determined the health content the journalists produced. Journalists said it was difficult to cover health issues in addition to other newsroom responsibilities.
