Although there are tons of health news sites vying for the eyeballs of health information surfers, few of them offer 100% original content. This is what makes Health24News.com
different. Its breaking news is not the byproduct of recycled third-party news but the result of original reporting by a team of award-winning journalists. It targets consumers
and healthcare professionals with news coverage in six key areas, from home health to mental health and politics. To ensure medical accuracy a board of physician advisors reviews
all stories before they are posted on the site.
With 15 to 20 stories reported each day on the site, there are ample opportunities to pitch this site on breaking news and feature story ideas.
The top stories recently covered on the site include:
- FDA Reprimands Thalidomide Manufacturer;
- UCLA Names New Hospital After Reagan; and
- MRI Finds Mad Cow Disease in Humans.
Health Coverage
Editors are looking for information that fall into six core categories:
- home health;
- alternative health;
- business;
- mental health;
- politics; and
- sports health.
The site will soon expand to cover women's health and veterinary medicine.
