Health & Medicine Journalist; Former Reporter & Editor at Wall Street Journal; Author of "Survivor: Taking Charge of Your Fight Against Cancer"
Laura Landro Biography
Laura Landro is a journalist and author whose career at The Wall Street Journal established her as a prominent voice in American health and medicine reporting. Landro spent 35 years at The Wall Street Journal as a reporter and editor, covering health and medicine. She joined the New York bureau of the Journal as a reporter covering the entertainment, cable, and publishing industries and was later named marketing and media editor. Landro began her journalism career with McGraw-Hill World News in London and worked as a correspondent and editor for the McGraw-Hill Energy Newsletter Group before joining Business Week magazine as a staff editor.
Her column, "The Informed Patient," focused on how consumers can access quality care and avoid harm in the health care system. Landro also wrote the "Health Matters" column for the Encore section, contributed to Wall Street Journal special reports on health care innovation, and served as an editorial host for the WSJ CEO Council overseeing the health care panel. Her reporting translated complex medical and policy issues into accessible guidance for a broad readership.
Landro's journalism has been recognized with several industry honors. She is the recipient of the Gerald Loeb Award for deadline reporting and the New York Women in Communications, Inc. Matrix Award in the newspaper category. Her story "Dose of Prevention: Six Prescriptions to Ease Rationing in U.S. Health Care" was part of a series of Wall Street Journal articles awarded a prize from the National Institute for Health Care Management Research and Educational Foundation, and the series was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. She also won the National Print Journalism Award from the Leukemia Society of America for her Wall Street Journal article, "A Survivor's Tale."
Landro's journalism is informed by her own experience as a patient. Shortly after her thirty-seventh birthday, Landro was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Her book, "Survivor: Taking Charge of Your Fight Against Cancer," published by Simon & Schuster, details her experience with leukemia and bone marrow transplant. That personal journey influenced her professional mission, leading her to help other patients navigate the health care system.
Landro has contributed as a freelance writer, covering topics such as telemedicine, cancer detection, physician shortages, and surgical innovation. She has appeared as a guest on "On Point" on WBUR public radio to discuss cancer survivorship, sharing her expertise and perspective with a broad audience. Landro continues to be recognized for her editorial leadership and investigative reporting in health care journalism.
