In 2011, the newspaper’s Health of the Nation series, which included video footage from a meeting of health policy experts and articles on health policy[1], advises readers that it is an “independent project” by journalists and supported by the Australian Medicines Industry, an initiative of Medicines Australia, which represents the Australian drug industry.[2]
Medicines Australia said that the arrangement arose out of meetings between its advertising agency and News Ltd’s promotions and advertising teams, which “recognised common interests.” The deal also included a glossy 24-page colour magazine which brings together some of the newspaper articles, the results of a Newspoll survey of peoples' attitudes about their health and health services, as well as advertorials featuring various aspects of the medicines industry, and advertisements for The Australian Medicines Industry.[3]
