#1 - The relationship between media and suicide risk

Welcome to the Ohio Suicide Reporting Guidelines series. In Episode 01, your host, Jonathan Singer, walks you through the relationship between how you report on suicide and suicide risk. Studies show that certain aspects of suicide reporting can increase rates of suicidal behavior, especially among youth and other vulnerable individuals. The guidelines are not intended to limit press freedom but rather to serve as an evidence-based resource for effective reporting on suicide. They are grounded in the principles of journalism ethics and suicide prevention.
