Call For Men's Health Media Watchdogs
January 3, 2003
Are you tired of all the one-sided coverage that the media is giving
to gender health issues? Are you disturbed about articles that imply
that a person's life counts for less because he happens to be male?
This coming year, Men's Health America has established improved media coverage of men's health as one of our top priorities for 2003. We plan to do something about this bias!
Men's Health America would like to invite you to participate as one of our Media Watchdogs. Here's what the Media Watchdogs will do:
1. Identify one newspaper that you read regularly.
2. When you see a gender health article that is biased, write a concise letter to the editor.
3. Then e-mail your letter to Men's Health America, along with the e-mail address of the Letters Editor and the URL of the article (if it's available) to the MHA website.
4. Men's Health America will post 2-4 such letters each month on the MHA website, and invite all the MHA members to contact the editor about their concerns.
If you are interested, contact Men's Health America at eba@intr.net. Please respond by January 6. The men's health media campaign will begin in about one week.
