SEJ Calls for End to Interview-Control at FDA

SEJ and other journalism groups, led by the Association of Health Care Journalists and the Society of Professional Journalists, have called on FDA's Transparency Task Force to help end interview restrictions as "practices that restrict the flow of information to the public." Resultant problems include negligence in notifying schools of tainted lunch foods and not revealing the harmful or fatal side-effects of the drugs it approves.
