Stack, S. (2003). Media coverage as a risk factor in suicide. Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, 238-240. Retrieved from http://jech.bmj.com/content/57/4/238.full.pdf+html This article is contributing to my research paper by giving information about celebrity suicides and the effects of reporting them. Apart of my paper is how reporting on a suicide gives the deceased person “celebrity status”. So, I also want to write about how suicides increase after a front page suicide story with a common person compared to a celebrity.

The author talks about how some people call for more “open” reporting because it brings attention to a public health problem. This argument doesn't have much support and brings about questions on the way suicide should be reported and possible limitations on the details of a suicide.
