After receiving a record number of applicants, the Carter Center’s Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism — the only journalism fellowships exclusively for mental health — announced today the winners of its 2009-2010 awards (see below for full list of fellows and their project topics). Since 1996, the fellowship program has educated more than 100 journalists, who set the standard in their field for accurate and sensitive portrayals of mental health issues. “Journalists have a very important role to play in shaping the public’s pe...

Nearly two-thirds of all Americans are overweight (over 70% of all men and over 61% of all women), and one-third of us are considered obese (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey). America is fat, there’s simply no easy or other way to say it. So if...
