Abstract
General medical journals seek newsworthiness but face obstacles because of their usually slow publication schedules and because of contents that readers find either obscure or contradictory to long held beliefs. In addition, since medical news has become "big news," general medical journals find themselves in competition with both the lay press and the medical giveaways.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
