Abstract:
In 2025, US measles cases reached the highest levels since 2000, coinciding with persistent vaccine hesitancy and mixed media messaging. This study analyzed 100 Google News reports from June 2025. Nonmainstream outlets published more credentialed content (31.6% vs 11.6%, P = .02), yet fewer than 25% cited research. Most reports were informational (94%) and pro-vaccination (72%), though 28% presented mixed messaging. Findings highlight gaps in evidence-based reporting and opportunities for improved health communication.
