Medical journalism

Medical journalism is like when your teacher tells you about something new you can do to stay healthy, like wash your hands or eat your vegetables. But instead of just your teacher, it's people who write stories for magazines or news websites, and they tell lots of people about important health information.

These writers talk to doctors and scientists to learn about new treatments or ways to prevent sickness. They also might investigate a problem to see if there is something doctors or governments can do to help people who are sick.

Just like how your teacher wants you to understand why washing your hands is good for you, medical journalists want lots of people to understand important health information. They use simple words and explain things in a way that everyone can understand.

So when you read a story about medicine or health, it's like your teacher telling you how to stay healthy, but news reporters do this for lots of people, all over the world!
