Information
The use of media to influence policy and politics in any environment is familiar in today’s society. The shift from radio, film, and television to social media has had significant impact on political campaigns and advancing policy and agendas with the public and policy makers. Health promotion is portrayed by the media to consumers in 3 ways:
- Public education;
- Social marketing; and
- Media advocacy
What is the best use of media for promoting health and advocating for the development of policy and effective politics in healthcare? Nurses are experts at vetting for appropriate use of media to deliver their messages in healthcare. Nurses solicit unbiased information which can be used for taking political stands on policy issues. A comprehensive assessment is required of media sources using the same principles for determining quality of patient education materials. Prior to taking a stand based upon particular information on a policy issue, one must ask the following:
- What is the medium for the delivery of the message? Is it a credible site?
- Who is sending the message? Why?
- What is the message, and what rhetoric is used? Is there a “spin doctor” behind the scene?
- Is the message effective in the presentation? and
- Is the message accurate?
