Goldblum, Jeff. “DNA. Curing Cancer.” Princeton, NJ: Films for the Humanities and Sciences. 2004.
This digital film focuses on researchers who have found a link between DNA and certain cancers such as breast cancer. This link could lead to a cure for breast cancer because they have already found a way to cure other cancers. This is an interesting film to watch because it shows how closely linked DNA and cancer is and how close science is coming to finding a cure. Reporters would benefit from watching this film because it describes the disease in simple terms and is easy to understand. It also provides information on other advances with different cancers.

This video from YouTube highlights different risk factors, warning signs, and statistics surrounding breast cancer. It was done to increase awareness of the disease. This would be helpful to reporters because it provides a base of information in quick bullets. Also, there are different graphics in the video that show how to check for breast cancer and what some of the warning signs are. Granted, this specific information may not be useful in reporting, it is still important when trying to understand the implications of the disease (before and after).
