Reporting on chronic, and particular energy-limiting, conditions - Ed Yong

The American reporter Ed Yong, who has recently written a number of well received articles on ME and Long Covid, has written a Twitter thread "about the ethos behind these pieces, and how I’ve approached interviewing, writing, and the rest of it.".

I thought the thread itself was full of great examples on how to, in particular, interview and otherwise interact with chronically ill patients and so deserved a thread here.

and a Thread Reader link to the full thread on one page, https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1575490879602962434.html

 

would be good if it could be incorporated into an ME/CFS Journalist Primer (eg https://www.s4me.info/threads/journalist-primer-how-to-report-on-me-cfs-from-meaction.29163/)
