Going Public: How the White House Handles Information About the President's Health

Dan Woods

KRCU

The president is ill. What is his or her condition? When can we expect an update on their health? Are they still performing their duties as president? These are just some of the questions that are asked when the president is dealing with a health crisis. How does the White House decide what information to release and what to keep quiet?

Dr. Pam Parry is a professor in the Department of Mass Media at Southeast and she spoke with KRCU about that and more.

Dan is a 1994 graduate of Southeast Missouri State University. He majored in radio and minored in political science. He spent three of his four years at Southeast working as a student announcer at KRCU – the beginning of his radio career.
