About the Course

Responsible Reporting on Suicide for Journalists is designed to give working journalists and students who are interested in the field an understanding of how news media can impact suicide trends and how that power can be used to improve public health. An extensive body of research shows that certain methods of reporting on suicide deaths can increase the number of subsequent suicides among the public.

I am impressed with how well this course covered the material related to suicide in the realm of journalism. It approaches the topic thoughtfully and carefully, while keeping in mind the impact the topic can have on the public, individuals, and society. I appreciate the various speakers and resources- every piece of information provides value, and I really feel like I learned some wonderful methodologies and helpful resources.
