"In an interview for this month’s print edition of Press Gazette, [Ben] Goldacre has condemned journalists for fueling what he calls the “MMR hoax” by giving widespread coverage to Doctor Andrew Wakefield’s claims that MMR jabs caused autism. He points out that vaccination rates have dropped from 92 per cent to 73 per cent prompting serious disease outbreaks since Wakefield’s research was first reported in 1998."

Adam Tinworth: "When I heard that Press Gazette was switching to publishing once a month, with a features-led magazine, I thought it sounded like a good plan. It was exactly the sort of solution that could save a title - moving upmarket with a more analytical bent. How much to subscribe? £115. That's £7.67 per issue on the current "15 for the price of 12" offer or an eye-watering £9.58 without the offer. That's frankly insane. They're either relying on corporate subscriptions - not a good idea in the current financial climate - or they seriously over-estimate how much disposable income the average journalist has."
