The Language of Reform

As per usual, On the Media comes through with a great look at the mass media. There was a great segment on Friday about the language of healthcare reform. In it Frank Luntz discusses some of the most effective ways of framing the debate going on in Washington. If you're curious in a longer look at Luntz's thoughts on the matter, you can see The Language of Healthcare 2009.

The show also featured nice pieces on polling related to healthcare reform and the view of a Canadian journalist (playfully titled Blame Canada).

This isn't an area of health communication that I'm personally engaged in, but public opinion, policy, and politics are always of interest.
