Journal Article
The Psychiatrist Writing for Popular Media
2019
Overview
Popular media can provide psychiatrist authors with a platform for broad readership and, as a result, can exert considerable influence over public attitudes toward the field of psychiatry [7–9]. Since mental illness remains poorly understood and stigmatized by much of the American public [10], many have called on psychiatrists to interact more with popular media [11–13]. In another example, Dr. Elizabeth Ford, Chief of Psychiatry for Correctional Health Services for NYC Health + Hospitals, recognized a disconnect between her work caring for patients in the criminal-justice system and public perceptions of this patient population [26]. Many Americans do not learn about mental health topics from medical literature or conference abstracts, and media outlets like newspapers, books, and social networking sites can considerably widen a psychiatrist author’s readership [28]. [...]CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post each recorded over 90 million unique visitors to their digital platforms in January 2018 [29]. Because of their medical training, psychiatrist authors may find publishing in medical journals, including preparing abstracts, submitting structured manuscripts, using citations, and undergoing peer review, to be familiar.
