Rate every cancer breakthrough story and press release for spin, using set criteria, and publish the scores so journalists, institutions and readers can see who overstates.
Spin in abstracts and press releases is documented and propagates into news coverage and patient expectations; HealthNewsReview.org showed independent grading is feasible before it closed for lack of funding. The proposal is a sustainably funded service that grades press releases from journals, institutions and companies on a published rubric (absolute versus relative numbers, harms, cost, stage of evidence, independent comment), publishes an institution-level hype index, and provides a plain-language re-statement of each finding.
