How does journalism play a role in drugs and addiction?

Eve Simmons is a British writer, journalist and health and wellness editor at DailyMail.com.

She is an award-winning health journalist with a dogged determination to sniffing out fake health news – especially when it comes to diet. Formerly the deputy health editor at the Mail on Sunday in the UK, continues to work on vital and entertaining reports on her specialist subjects in the US which include mental health, disability and eating disorders. And she’s not afraid to dress up like a fool and try the latest fitness fad…for the good of journalism.

She’s written several in-depth reports on cannabis legalization – most recently covering the Bryn Spejcher manslaughter trial.
