ADA In The News
Monthly Media Update
Every day, the American Dietetic Association works with the media to obtain news coverage of ADA and registered dietitians. This report contains highlights of the outstanding news coverage that appeared throughout the months of January and February in national and local media outlets.
ADA’s Public Relations Team works with the news media to raise public awareness of the Association, the important contributions of ADA members, scientific research published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association and the importance of healthful nutrition for everyone.
One of ADA’s most-effective outreach programs is the Association’s national network of media-savvy experts – your volunteer media spokespeople. In thousands of interviews per year, spokespeople take a positive approach to promoting ADA and the relationships between good health and diet, communicating messages that reflect solid science and research.
