As a physician coping first hand with the effects of New York press coverage of the H1N1 influenza outbreaks, just last week I characterized their coverage as follows:
- The New York Times wanted to earn a Pulitzer Prize
- The New York Daily News wanted to foment a panic
- The New York Post wanted to create a scandal
- and the Spanish language press wanted to tell families what they should do to protect themselves from the flu

Which one do you think is thriving?
