Abstract
This research examines how newly approved drugs are presented in newspapers, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) press releases, and websites. It finds that the print media coverage is more positive than FDA press releases and lacks basic information that would be important to consumers. The shortcomings of traditional media appear to be mitigated by the varied sources of information about prescription drugs available on the Internet.
