[Pharmola.com March 10, 2008] IRENE (Investigative Reporters Network, Europe) is a newly-formed network of journalists working in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium who are investigating the pharmaceutical industry in Europe. The stories they are covering should sound familiar to anyone following recent news here in the U.S.: the supression of negative information about medications; the cultivation of connections with researchers; and drug advertising. An English translation of their first stories appears on IRENE's web site; they include investigations of "secret reports about side-effects of medicines, lobbyism in the European Union, including financing of patient-organizations and academic opinion leaders, as well as safety of highly popular medicines for ADHD."
