037: EMPATHY AND ACCURACY

WITH GUEST:  Cathy Cassata, Freelance Health WriterWHAT'S THE WHAT: On this episode, I sit down with Cathy Cassata, freelance writer for Healthline, Very Well, Health.Com, Chicago Health and Psych Central to talk about how one gets into writing the health articles read and cited by millions every day. We also talk about fact checking, verification, finding experts and the ups and downs and eye rolls of landing interviews. How do we know which articles are credible and which are not?  Should writers or experts be writing articles? And what it means to reach someone with a concerning health condition and give them hope. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Cathy Cassata on IGArticles by Cathy CassataCathyCassataWrites________________________________________________________SUPPORT THE SHOW!**Join my Patreon!
