What is the best newspaper with loads of information on medicine?

Question

Hello, I am just wondering which newspaper has the most information about the latest medical developments?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal have medical articles that are usually well-researched and well-written. USA Today is generally good, but some articles tend toward the sensational.

Answer 2

I concur with Greydoc6 that the NY Times does a very good job at covering matters of science & medicine (at least better than most periodicals intended for the lay public).  Outside of peer-reviewed scientific journals (intended for experts), the media really does a poor job in explaining matters of medical advances, their significance and what the future may hold for such advancements.  I urge you to take anything your read in the lay media with a grain of salt because it's fraught with highly watered-down information and often serves to cause more problems than solutions.

Answer 3

If you live in the UK, it's probably best to read the BMJ or student BMJ, designed specifically for medical students/doctors

New scientist and other broadsheet newspapers also contain some medical information too, but I recomend the BMJ
