On this episode we're joined by Lizzy Lawrence. Lizzy covers the Food and Drug Administration for STAT News, a subscription-based part of Boston Globe's media newsroom owned by the Boston Globe that covers the frontiers of health and medicine. As they say- "We take you inside the science labs and hospitals, biotech boardrooms, and political backrooms. We dissect crucial discoveries. We examine controversies and puncture hype. We hold individuals and institutions accountable. We introduce you to the power brokers and personalities who are driving a revolution in human health." Lizzy has been with them for 2 1/2 years and she's been part of stories that have won prominent awards. She's previously covered technology and was editor-in-chief of the University of Michigan's student newspaper. And she's a graduate of my alma mater, Stuyvesant High School in New York City.Lizzy talked about what it's like to cover both breaking news, like the mass firing of thousands of people at the FDA and bigger enterprise stories, like the team coverage on United Healthcare that won a Polk Award for investigative journalism. She shared the biggest lessons she learned and what she feels she's taken from being a journalist.Lizzy's salute: The Association of Health Care JournalistsA detailed interview explaining STAT's coverage of United Healthcarehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0VJGEv5IGwThank you as always for listening.

Welcome to this week's episode of Coffee with a Journalist, brought to you by the team at One Pitch. In today's episode, host Beck Bamberger sits down with Lizzy Lawrence, the newly appointed FDA reporter at STAT, to delve into her transition from covering medical devices to focusing exclusively on the FDA. Lizzy shares her insights into what makes a compelling pitch, her investigative experiences with the FDA, and the significance of expert sources for her stories. Additionally, she offers valuable advice on how publicists can better tailor their pitches to meet reporters' needs. Tune in for an engaging conversation that highlights the inner workings of health journalism and the ever-evolving landscape of FDA coverage.

The much-anticipated presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris highlighted their policy differences not just on abortion, but also on other health issues, including the future of the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile, the Biden administration issued rules seeking to enforce the long-standing requirement that insurers cover mental health and substance use services to the same extent that they cover other medical care. Rachel Cohrs Zhang of Stat, Lauren Weber of The Washington Post, and Riley Ray Griffin of Bloomberg News join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too. Julie Rovner: The Wall Street Journal's “A Nurse Practitioner's $25,000 in Student-Debt Relief Turned Into a $217,500 Bill From the Government,” by Rebecca Ballhaus. Lauren Weber: Stat's “Youth Vaping Continues Its Tumble From a Juul-Fueled High,” by Lizzy Lawrence. Riley Ray Griffin: Bloomberg News' “Lilly Bulks Up Irish Operations in Obesity Drug Production Push,” by Madison Muller. Rachel Cohrs Zhang: ProPublica's “‘I Don't Want To Die': Needing Mental Health Care, He Got Trapped in His Insurer's Ghost Network,” by Max Blau. Hosted on Acast.

For the 2024 campaign, Joe Biden is out, and Kamala Harris is in. As the vice president makes moves toward the top of the Democratic presidential ticket, health policy is resurging as a campaign issue. Meanwhile, Congress tries — and again fails — to make timely progress on the annual government spending bills as abortion issues cause delays. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Stephanie Armour of KFF Health News, and Rachel Cohrs Zhang of Stat join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these issues and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Anthony Wright, the new executive director of Families USA, about his plans for the organization and his history working with Harris on health topics. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: NPR's “A Study Finds That Dogs Can Smell Your Stress — And Make Decisions Accordingly,” by Rachel Treisman. Alice Miranda Ollstein: Stat's “A Pricey Gilead HIV Drug Could Be Made for Dramatically Less Than the Company Charges,” by Ed Silverman, and Politico's “Federal HIV Program Set To Wind Down,” by Alice Miranda Ollstein and David Lim. Stephanie Armour: Vox's “Free Medical School Won't Solve the Doctor Shortage,” by Dylan Scott. Rachel Cohrs Zhang: Stat's “How UnitedHealth Harnesses Its Physician Empire To Squeeze Profits out of Patients,” by Bob Herman, Tara Bannow, Casey Ross, and Lizzy Lawrence. Hosted on Acast.

Jack Dorsey wants to skip Web3 and Web4 and go straight to a decentralized Web5 ... or does he? Instagram is adding new features and partnerships to encourage young people to take a break from the social media platform. New legislation aims to ban the sale of health and location data to third parties. Activision Blizzard, which was internally investigating claims of harassment at the company, says it failed to find a systemic issue. First, CoinDesk's Sam Kessler stops by the show to discuss former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's latest vision for a decentralized internet: Web5. Kessler discusses Dorsey's announcement and helps sift through the jokes and memes surrounding the idea. Then, Lizzy Lawrence of Protocol joins the show to talk about Instagram's latest Health and Safety features. The social media network has partnered with influencers and implemented a number of prompts to encourage users to step away from Instagram from time to time. Lawrence examines the efficacy of the updates. Then, Jason shares a story about new legislation that would ban the sale of health and location data by apps and services that collect the information. Some weather apps, cycle trackers, and other apps collect data about an individual user and sell that information to third-party data brokers. This potential law would ban the practice. Lastly, Mikah talks about Activision Blizzard's recent SEC filing. The company says it completed an internal investigation regarding harassment, but failed to find a "systemic issue."

Then, Protocol's Lizzy Lawrence details how tech companies are responding to the Supreme Court's leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Tech companies are now working to outline and update their policies on abortion coverage. Then, Mikah shares a story from The Verge that provides an in-depth look at Sonos's long-rumored virtual assistant.

Stewart Butterfield has a lot of thoughts about how work should work. Which is not exactly surprising, given that he's the CEO of Slack, and now works for Salesforce, two companies that are at the center of the digital workplace for businesses around the world. He's seen what the shift to remote-first work has done to many companies, and how digital transformation has changed business' conception of what “work” even looks like. It all sounds a little philosophical — and maybe it is — but it's also the stuff companies everywhere are grappling with right now.But 2021 was hardly an ordinary year. The way we worked and lived will (hopefully!) not be the way we work and live forever. So what trends should we leave behind, and which should we embrace? And maybe just as important, which are going to stick around no matter how we feel? The future of work doesn't have to look like the present, but it doesn't have to look like the past either.For our last Source Code interview of the year, we asked Butterfield to look back at 2021 and ahead to 2022, to try and figure out what the future of work might look like. Will asynchronous work become the norm? Will companies and employees gain a better work-life balance? Will all our meetings move to the metaverse? How should we set up notifications, build culture, and create inclusive companies when everyone's a rectangle on a laptop screen? Butterfield has thoughts and ideas on all of it, and lessons for everyone heading into another, hopefully much less chaotic year. For more on the topics discussed in this episode:Lizzy Lawrence on TwitterCron calendarStewart Butterfield on TwitterSlack's Digital HQ explainerSlack's Frontiers newsAsync vs. sync work: How to re-evaluate meetingsWhatsApp for work: Slack is turning into a full-on messaging appSlack's Platform plan: To be ‘the central nervous system' of businesses everywhereWhy Slack's CEO says he's not worried about MicrosoftFor all the links and stories, head to Source Code's homepage.
