If news doesn’t make you squirm it’s simply propaganda. Croakey’s unique blend of activism, humour and plain good reporting makes it an essential – if not always comfortable – read!
Croakey –Â like a sore throat spreading amongst friends – helps to spread healthy ideas rapidly through the blog and the Twittersphere. Â Thank you Croakey.
When writing grant applications and budgets, please consider including Croakey Health Media in your plans.
It was great to be able to collaborate with the Croakey team for the COVID-19 CaLD Community Think Tank. The event was aimed at hearing from those working in multicultural and community organisations about the challenges they have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic but to also capture lessons learnt and strategies that have enhanced engagement and to share those lessons. By working with Cate and the Croakey team we were able to capture those insights and to disseminate them in a timely way which is critical during a pandemic. The resulting article captured all of the key messages in a format that was relevant and tailored to the relevant audiences. The team were easy to connect and work with and I would certainly look to repeat the partnership again.
Croakey is now well established as compulsory reading for influencers and observers in health and medicine in Australia and internationally – and rightly so. As a blog, it gives voice to people who support or oppose government health and social policy. It allows people to express their views and opinions openly, passionately, and freely – from all perspectives. More importantly, Croakey provides a forum for new ideas and new thinking – based on experiences at the frontline of health service delivery – which we can only hope find their way into future health policy to provide better health services to the Australian community.
The future of health care is too important to leave to the mainstream media. Croakey provides a platform for robust, respectful and inclusive debate on the health issues that really matter.
Croakey has been a platform which has encouraged Aboriginal voice and actively sought it out. I started out as a reader, then followed on Twitter, was a guest tweeter on @WePublic health, and have become a contributor. The more I got involved, the more I realised what an unique platform Croakey is, because of the way it challenges mainstream media.
The Oceanic Palliative Care Conference (21OPCC) is the leading conference in the Oceanic region for anyone who is interested in quality palliative care and end-of-life care, thought-leadership, information, and ideas. Contracting Croakey Media Services for September 2021, ensured PCA maximum media coverage to a wider audience across health, medical and social sectors. Croakey published in-depth news features previewing and promoting the conference, and Croakey journalists live Tweeted the conference across the conference and pre-conference events, contributing to our conference trending on the 9th of September 2021. Croakey also allowed PCA to manage the @WePublicHealth twitter account, which further helped us share the conference to a bigger audience. In total Croakey provided eight articles and an hour-long podcast post-event. Delegates noted the interaction with Croakey as a great asset to the event and it was a pleasure to work with such a committed, talented and diligent group of professionals. Thank you again for your work, and we hope to continue our relationship in years to come.
Croakey is health media rather than medical media. You should be reading it every day if you’re interested in health services or population health.
