Ethical issues in health communication: health-related news sourcingpractices

The field of health science communication (HSC) has multiple stakeholders including researchers, scientific societies and organizations, government agencies, universities, news and media organizations and public information officers [1,2]. The optimization of HSC between researchers and the public is crucial in terms of its impact on governmental decision-making, health policies, health promotion, disease prevention and self-care [1,3]. Health communication should adhere to the principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for personal autonomy, and justice [4].
