How should media in Malaysia report suicide? (with Norman Goh)

With a rise in suicide cases over the past decade (particularly during the Covid-19 lockdown periods), the media has played an important role in reporting this sensitive topic to the public.  In some cases, suicide is reported in ways that add to the problem rather than educate people and help reverse the worrying trend of suicide rates. In this episode of Being Human, Dr. Chua Sook Ning is joined by political analyst, producer, and former independent journalist Norman Goh to discuss the importance of ethical reporting when addressing suicide.
