The development and convergence of communication technologies, the progressive mediatization of society and institutions, the new generation of readers and their ways of consuming health content are some of the examples of the various issues addressed in health communication. The aim of this article is to reflect on the relationship between media and health and its current importance in the production and dissemination of contents, in light of the new information and communication technologies, producing efficient and credible information, directed to different audiences.Fiocruz MS, Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, Inst Comunicacao Informacao Cient & Tecnol Saude, ICICT, Rio De Janeiro, RJ, BrazilESPM, CIC, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Estacio Sa, Rio De Janeiro, RJ, BrazilGNT, Rio De Janeiro, RJ, BrazilEuvejo Com Br, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Escola Paulista Med, Setor Med Adolescente, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Estadual Campinas, UNICAMP, Campinas, SP, BrazilUniv Guarulhos, UNG, Guarulhos, SP, BrazilUniv Sao Paulo, Fac Med, Dept Molestias Infecciosas & Parasitarias, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilCRN3, Conselho Reg Nutr Regiao 3a, Comissao Et, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Sao Paulo, Inst Psicol, Programa Posgrad Psicol Clin, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUNIFEB, Fundacao Educ Barretos, Barretos, SP, BrazilUniv Sao Paulo, Fac Med, Dept Pediat, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilCEPPAN, Clin Estudos & Pesquisas Psicanalise Anorexia & B, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Sao Paulo, Fac Med, Inst Coracao InCor, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, UNIFESP, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilESPM, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Presbiteriana Mackenzie, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilPUC, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Metodista Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Sao Paulo, ECA, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilEPM, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Pantheon Sorbonne, Paris, FranceGen Assembly NYC, New York, NY USAUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Escola Paulista Med, Setor Med Adolescente, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, UNIFESP, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed São Paulo, EPM, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilWeb of Scienc
