About

epiNewswire is an investigative and evidence-based medical news website.

We focus on reporting evidence-based research news — newly published meta-analysis and systematic review papers that reveal important trends in public health, epidemiology and toxicology.

We also feature original investigative medical journalism and continuing coverage of the antibiotic resistance crisis.

Since 2006, epiNewswire has broken public health stories of national significance, including U.S. Army censorship of politically sensitive medical research by scientists at Walter Reed and elsewhere, and the U.S. Veterans Health Administration’s refusal to report hundreds of thousands of cancer cases to civilian tumor registries used to track veteran cancer rates.

The Columbia Journalism Review blog said nice things about epi’s reporting, and epi stories have been spotlighted and featured by ProPublica, Secrecy News, and elsewhere.
