Shelly Jofre was "given the space and resources to unravel an international drug company scandal" - anyone who claims she investigated all SSRI's is a LIAR !!



Shelley Jofre

Life as a Panorama reporter since 2000 has given me a unique opportunity to pursue investigations that really matter.
I have been given the space and resources to unravel an international drug company scandal that fundamentally questions how much faith we should put in the medicines we take.

The first film I made about GlaxoSmithKline's best-selling antidepressant, Seroxat, generated an unprecedented viewer response; a staggering 65,000 people rang the BBC helpline after the programme.

I was able to continue digging away at the story in three further films. These have resulted in a complete rethink of the drug's safety and effectiveness as well as an overhaul of the way patients report side effects from any prescription medicine.

The films won a Mental Health Media Award for Public Impact and were shortlisted for the Royal Television Society Awards in 2003.
