Center for Health Journalism Digital is an online community and learning resource for journalists, bloggers, health policy thinkers and others interested in joining a conversation about health and medical news, health communication and our communities. A project of the USC-Annenberg/California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships program, Center for Health Journalism Digital is funded by a generous grant by The California Endowment.

But its primary aim is to spur conversations and learning among members and to provide a way for members to share their thoughts in blogs and comments and to showcase their work and accomplishments in attractive profiles.
