Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 21   EBP 3031 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Fourth Channel

Captions available

The idea

The chapter names a fourth channel beyond presentations, publications and policy briefs: the news media, which reaches people no professional channel does.

In practice

A finding about a preventable harm carried to the public by a local news story, not a journal.

Where people slip

The media reaches widest and gives least control over what is said — a trade the other three channels do not ask.
