Changes on reporting suicide are welcome, but slow<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Vincent Ng\u2019ethe<\/p>\n

In September 2022, the Baraza Media Lab with guidance from the Centre on Suicide Research and Intervention published a report that looked at how broadcast stations report on suicide on social media. Its contents were sobering. Many leading media houses were found to report suicide as criminal acts. Reports also contained harmful elements such as methods and imagery of suicide and did not provide helpful information for readers who may be thinking of suicide.<\/p>\n

So how have journalists been reporting on suicide since the data was collected? A very cursory survey of news outlets on social media shows reasons for both optimism and worry. So far in 2023, media outlets have published more stories about mental health, showing a rising appreciation of it. This year has also seen an increasing number of responsibly written social media posts that took into account the need for sensitivity on suicide.<\/p>\n

Now, the negatives. Knowledge on responsible reporting of suicide, while improved, remains inconsistent across news operations. Real progress will require further integrating social media into editorial processes, subjecting its copy to as much rigour as the stories themselves to ensure errors are not introduced once stories are completed. Also, many insensitive references to suicide on social media were accurately reproduced from news stories.<\/p>\n

The term \u201ccommitted suicide\u201d continues<\/a> to appear on news websites<\/a>, even in stories<\/a> where responsible reporting would be expected, such as those that explore risk factors of suicide. Stories use the insensitive word \u201csuicidal\u201d in phrases like \u201ctreating suicidal people<\/a> as criminals\u201d and \u201cpeople who are suicidal<\/a>\u201d. The same insensitivity is also observed in the phrase \u201cmentally ill\u201d, ironically in stories that call for acts of suicide to be decriminalised.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear that all journalists understand why respectful reporting on suicide is necessary. It was interesting \u2013 and revealing \u2013 to see a media outlet\u2019s official Twitter account include both the terms \u201cdied by suicide\u201d and \u201ccommitted suicide\u201d in the same tweet<\/a>. The video shows the news ticker displaying both \u201cdied by suicide\u201d and \u201ccommitted suicide\u201d in the same report.<\/p>\n

The impact of language and imagery<\/strong><\/p>\n

News websites continue to narrate morbid details about the manner of death from suicide. You are still likely to find phrases like \u201cthe body was found hanging in his room<\/a>\u201d, a man \u201cwho set himself ablaze<\/a>\u201d and \u201cdoused<\/a> himself in a flammable substance before setting himself ablaze while carrying the Kenyan flag\u201d. The imagery of suicide<\/a>, with the noose<\/a> particularly prominent, continues to be used in stories<\/a>, inadvertently advertising hanging<\/a> as a suitable method.<\/p>\n

Media outlets aired insensitive footage. One camera focused on a woman overcome with emotion<\/a>, who understood she was being filmed. One story goes as far as to narrate<\/a> that instead of dissuading the deceased from taking his own life, a bystander handed him a lighted match and taunted him over unsuccessful attempts to light himself on fire, displaying the contempt people have for people thinking of suicide and inviting viewers to agree with those ideas.<\/p>\n

The approach to reporting suicide varies depending on whether the person who died by suicide had committed a violent crime just prior, usually another killing. Reports are more likely to use \u201cdied by suicide\u201d where the only death reported is by suicide. On the other hand, when persons who die by suicide had killed<\/a> another person, the phrase \u201ccommitted suicide\u201d is used<\/a> freely.<\/p>\n

Yet the same responsibility to reduce the prominence of suicide applies even in the context of crime reporting, and steps that broadcasters take to make footage of murders acceptable, such as using trigger warnings and\u00a0 black and white<\/a> for bloodstains, may still be unacceptable in the context of suicide prevention. According to a 2021 brief<\/a> by the University College Cork, Ireland, no graphic footage should be used in reporting murder-suicides, and care should be taken to discourage copycats, or position murder-suicide as a solution to anything.<\/p>\n

Without a deeper understanding of the harm insensitive reporting on suicide causes, attempts to change may be wrongly deemed as political correctness, resulting in disrespectful coverage that tries to \u201csay it as it is\u201d and neglects to include sources of help for people who may be thinking of suicide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
