Abstract

It is not usual that suicides appear in media. Newsrooms are working with the preset idea that reporting on that news you give a negative example and cause imitative behavior. Some studies thus showed it, but almost all were based on fictional television programs and not on informational spaces. So authors approach to the subject, and especially television, to hold that, as that found that the information promotes social awareness in other sensitive topics, find more about suicide could help reduce the high number of them. To do this, as well as an analysis of the current situation, consider concrete cases of treatment information.
