Press Urged to Limit Reports on Suicide Crimes
A Los Angeles conference of the American Academy of Medicine urged newspapers to refrain from publishing detailed accounts of suicides and personal crises. The report argues such coverage increases imitative suicides, suggesting neutral or separate yellow pages if the news must appear. It cites defense of press liberty but calls for public education and responsible reporting to reduce the death rate by self harm. It notes occupations with higher self-kill rates and highlights categories including sailors, saloon keepers, and telegraph operators.
