Reporting on suicide through social media by Kenya’s broadcasting stations

In this study, we carry out content analysis evaluating how suicide is reported through Twitter by some of Kenya’s leading broadcast stations in adherence to the WHO reporting guidelines. We look into how media and online coverage of this public health crisis have been done over a period of time, the language used in reporting and the potential risk the aforementioned could have in our communities. By highlighting the best practices of responsible media reporting on suicide, our aim is to support the ongoing efforts in suicide prevention globally.
