Whether we mean it to or not, celebrity stories are a common way we learn about cancer. The first step to better understanding is to know what is missing from these stories.

[AACR Foundation @AACRFoundation]

News coverage about public figures facing cancer frequently leaves out key details about the diagnosis and fails to provide background information on cancer. @CancerTodayMag explores how these stories can lack important facts. https://t.co/TuS9YPRsH0

@chrislhayes My experience, and it sounds like many people's experience, is that all the access of digital doesn't lead to a wider breadth of reading, it leads to reading 15 identical takes on whatever the internet is mad about today.

[Eric Fitzsimmons @efitzsimmons08]

@chrislhayes Digital is certainly convenient for many reasons, but whether you're trying to read a long piece or get the news landscape, reading on paper is so valuable.
