Abstract
Public perceptions of pathologists can be shaped by individuals' direct contacts with these medical specialists, as well as by portrayals of them in the media. Few lay people, whether healthy or ill, have direct professional interaction with pathologists. Accordingly, media portrayals can assume great importance in shaping public views of pathologists and their profession. This report discusses how pathologists and the specialty of pathology are depicted in newspaper articles.
