Stat, a Boston-based digital publication that covers medicine and health sciences, is profitable and growing, according to a recent podcast. Launched 11 years ago, Stat is part of Boston Globe Media. The podcast was the second episode of “Commons Healthcare” and features an interview with Stat editor Rick Berke, among others.
Because Globe Media is privately held, the assertion that Stat is profitable came without any numbers. But, like The Boston Globe itself, Stat continues to expand its staff, adding a reporter to cover the declining trust in science.
