Talk:Primer for journalists

Great start! Are you thinking different pages for science and general journalists?

Possibly useful:

Also think historic funding, outbreaks, etc. important to mention.

Some things might be cited, other things just interlinked

Adding this link here for future consideration http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.se/2013/03/three-damaging-myths-about-severity.html?m=1 I will rename the page to be a primer for journalists. If we see a need to split content by general and science writers we can do that later Olliec (talk) 01:50, 28 February 2016 (PST)

I think this video is very informative and can be used on any Primer page. Dr. Nancy Klimas on the ME/CFS name, sleep disorders and more. One of her best videos in my opinion. http://me-pedia.org/wiki/Primer_for_journalists

Also, if there is a co-morbid section perhaps putting the Fibromyalgia page would be helpful.

I can't wait to start using the Primers! --DxCFS (talk) 09:09, 2 March 2016 (PST)

Sorry, meant to post this, not the Primer page again. Nancy Klimas video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2vIQ92wU9Y --DxCFS (talk) 10:45, 2 March 2016 (PST)

For the list of "Patient Groups and Charities" - maybe wait until the list on the main page is more complete - until then, use a link to the main page ? Another option is to compare both lists, regularly, and manually update this page. or have an outdated list. --Suelala (talk) 19:58, 25 March 2016 (PDT)


 * I have the citations on PEM w/o the template. I hope that is OK, I thought it best to get the citations in and if someone feels they should be in a template format they have the option to edit in.--DxCFS (talk) 10:39, 16 August 2016 (PDT)

I can think of a few patients that would be fine with being interviewed but is there someone that can contact them so we can get the OK and plug their names in for this Primer? I am thinking L.A. Cooper, Hillary Johnson, Mary Gelpi, Clark Ellis, Brian Vastag and more. Perhaps someone getting in touch on Twitter or Facebook? We already have Tom Kindlon, Ryan Prior and Jennifer Brea.--DxCFS (talk) 18:37, 22 August 2016 (PDT)

Do you think this new ad by Solve ME/CFS Initiative could fit in the section about using appropriate photos? Not that they could use it since it's probably copyrighted, but it could give the journalist an idea of what to look for, instead of photos of students cramming for finals.
