Meanwhile, Medicare continues to pay for millions of questionable digital mammograms.

Added Tina Brown, editor in chief of Newsweek and The Daily Beast, “We have great admiration for John and his team at the Center for Public Integrity and are pleased to be working with them both at The Daily Beast andNewsweek. A sharp study of the effectiveness of mammogram technology is featured in today’s issue of Newsweek.”
Said Center Executive Director William E. Buzenberg: “The value of incisive investigative reporting is going up. This is a tremendous opportunity for us to provide quality journalism to a new audience and to get paid for our work.”
