[PHSW] Email Learning with Laura>Google Search for public health news

[Laura Larsson]

Friends:

For those of you for whom current news is important, I'd like to 
introduce you to the Google News Search Engine located at: 
http://news.google.com/. Here you can find articles from regional, 
national and international newspapers, radio stations and other news 
venues.

This is a beta site but seems to work quite well for getting at specific 
public health content in the news.

To get public health content, click on this link or copy it into the 
address line of your browser:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&edition=&q=%22public+health%22

or do a search in the search engine at the top of the page using "public 
health". Note that I used quotes to reduce the number of hits from 
21,000 to 8,770.

To get health administration content (64 articles today) type or copy 
this URL: 
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&edition=&q=%22health+care+administration%22

Also try searching "health administration" (with the quotes) to get 
slightly different content. For those belonging to the APHA HA Section, 
I will be adding this to the list of useful resources in the APHA Health 
Administration Section Newsletter.

To find public health nursing articles, type or copy this URL: 
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&edition=&q=%22public+health+nursing%22

Try other news topics to see what you come up with.

Warning: Be aware that some news sites may charge you for content once 
it's gone into their archives and you may have to make a note of the 
newspaper and date to retrieve it from their archives once it has been 
taken off the newspaper's Web site.

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."  Alvin Toffler
"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity." Dorothy Parker
"There's no reason to burn books if you don't read them." Ray Bradbury
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T. S. Eliot
"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both." James Michener
