I bet this has not been a cause of #suicide in any country before!
None of the international guidelines on #MediaReporting of suicides has anything on such a situation, bcoz no one anticipated journalists would be this foolish! @toymango
Much needed thread by @toymango reminding us of great work on mental health in our country. Even smaller steps gives us hope.

Terrible headlines! When will media learn to follow #SuicideReporting guidelines!
@ndtv we are conducting a free workshop for journalists on reporting suicide on 26th August. Please ask your editor/subs/journos to attend contact @CMHLPIndia

I hate to be doing this, chronicling death all the time. There's a #suicide crisis around us & we seem oblivious to it.
We need to implement #SuicidePrevention strategies targeted at vulnerable groups immediately.
Stop the fatalism around suicides.

We live in times when people in power are afraid of 80-year-old poets, public interest lawyers with decades of outstanding service to the nation, selfless activists who have devoted their life to tribals... Proof that this is a deeply and morally corrupt time and regime.
Let’s not glorify death by suicide. Let his soul rest and let’s celebrate his life. Calling him shaheed can be detrimental to someone else who is reading this and already on the edge. Sensitivity and responsibility key when talking about this. @toymango@netshrink
Now @mid_day@journofaizan playing games. Think you are being smart by changing the headline but leaving the same content. It still violates Sec 24 of #MentalHealthCareAct Will someone (#SSR friends/family) file a complaint to the SMHA? I have screenshots if required.
