摘要

Alongside the editorial control mechanisms of traditional media, such as fact-checking and source verification, medical journalism ensures the quality of medical knowledge transfer, similar to the peer-review process of professional journals. However, this role, which is central to a democracy, is increasingly threatened by the rise of the internet and social media. Today, most news from science and medicine reaches citizens as “end consumers” of information directly, i.e., without intermediary quality control according to established journalistic standards. Deteriorating working conditions have forced many medical journalists to move to other occupational fields. The loss of quality control in medical knowledge transfer has become a danger to society. It has never been so difficult to distinguish between reliable information and misinformation or disinformation.
