  • Medicines and the Media
    Robertson et al. BMC Public Health 2013, 13:489 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/13/489 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Medicines and the media: news reports of medicines recommended for government reimbursement in Australia Jane Robertson*†, Emily J Walkom†, Marc D Bevan† and David A Newby† Abstract Background: Previous analyses of the listings of trastuzumab on the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and HPV vaccine on the National Immunisation Program (NIP) suggest a media influence on policy makers. We examined the timing and content of Australian newspaper reports of medicines in relation to Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) decisions. Methods: We identified newspaper reports (2005-2008) of medicines recommended for PBS listing in 2006–2007, analysing the content for mentions of the medicine, PBS and medicine costs to the patient and the government and counting the numbers of articles published in the six months before, the month of, and the six months after the relevant PBAC meeting. Case studies examined reporting for infliximab for Crohn’s Disease, pemetrexed for mesothelioma, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) medicines atomoxetine and methylphenidate. Results: Of 79 eligible medicines, 62 had news reports. Most often reported were HPV vaccine (1230 stories), trastuzumab (410), pemetrexed (83), botulinum toxin (71), lapatinib (65), methylphenidate (57), atomoxetine (54), infliximab (49), rotavirus vaccine (45). Eighteen medicines had ≥20 news reports (total 2350 stories); nine of these cost more than AU$10,000 per course or year of treatment. For these 18 medicines, 31% of stories appeared in the six months prior to the PBAC meeting, 14% in the meeting month and 33% in the six months post-meeting.

  • This Thesis Is Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia
    This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia 2011 Journalism as research: Developing radio documentary theory from practice Mia Lindgren I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... Mia Lindgren 2 Abstract Journalism academics around the world face the challenge of having their journalism practice recognised as academic research. This dissertation presents a model of how journalism practitioner-academics can present their in-depth journalistic practice in ways that make clear its standing as legitimate academic research. Informed by Candy’s (2006) framework for practice-led and practice-based research, the thesis defines two research methodologies: research on practice and research through practice. Using the radio documentary as the focus, research on practice is represented by fieldwork studies involving international radio documentary producers to provide new insights into the creative process. To demonstrate research though practice the researcher applies the theory generated in the first part of the study to reflect on her own practice as she produces a one-hour radio documentary, Deadly Dust commissioned by Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Radio National. Each part of this study would independently contribute new insights and knowledge into the under-researched area of radio studies in general and radio documentary practice specifically. However, taken together, the two parts present a compelling argument for why the practice of radio documentary production can be seen as a legitimate research process with legitimate research outcomes.
