The role of health PR

The last few years have shown that healthcare is connected to every aspect of society. It has also shown that the sector needs to compete for attention against science denialists.
In a recent survey, journalists confirmed that they are desperate for 'good news' stories to combat the overwhelming media attention on the impact of COVID 19. While it's impossible to understand the impact of this virus on the entire planet's human population, other things are happening. Good works by good people—progress where it's needed.
Good news
As a health-based organisation, you are constantly progressing through medical and technological advances, policies, and planning. You need a forum to continue to amplify these messages through the media and other communication channels. The good news is that you have an audience in the media who are ready to listen and open to amplifying your stories.
The power of images
It takes 13 milliseconds for a human to recognise the content of an image. We also have strong, instant emotional responses to images. These two facts alone should inform your understanding of the power of images in the media and why almost as many journalists will prioritise sharing stories with images almost as much as trending stories.
