This document discusses guidelines for responsibly covering suicide in student media. It presents ethics case studies and discusses when coverage is appropriate. Key points include:
1) Student media often covers suicide due to its impact, while professional media usually only reports on public figures or crimes.
2) Coverage can educate but also risks contagion or glamorizing suicide.
3) Guidelines include avoiding sensationalism, not simplifying reasons, and providing resources instead of methods.
4) Case studies show the complexity of balancing transparency, sensitivity and readers' well-being. Responsible coverage acknowledges suicide while avoiding glorification or imitation.

School Gun Violence
Problem Statement
America is very well known for school violence, and more specifically, school shootings.
Seventeen people were killed and more than 15 injured in a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on 14 February 2018, bringing the total number of
school shootings in the United States since the beginning of the year to 18 (or roughly three per
week). This is the most recent shooting where there have been mass casualties, and this
ultimately started the debate on what defines a “school shooting”, because of the rising gun
violence. The difficulty of agreeing on a common definition of "school shooting" shows just how
many different types of firearm incidents occur on school grounds. The difficulty of defining it
just highlights how common it is to find guns on school grounds — in the hands of intruders,
security personnel, and the students themselves (Emery).
Literature Reviews/Discussion
The first academic journal, Adolescent Masculinity, Homophobia, and Violence, talks
about the two main points’ people debate on what is to blame for gun violence. Those two points
are the availability of guns and mental health. Students report being increasingly afraid to go to
school; among young people aged 12 to 24, 3 in 10 say violence has increased in their schools in
the past year. The concern over school shootings has prompted intense national debate, in recent
SCHOOL GUN VIOLENCE2
years, over who or what is to blame. The internet, daycare, movies, and other forms of media
have been blamed for the rising violence, but people mainly focus on the gun availability and
mental health debates. Firearms are the second leading cause of death to children between ages
10 and 14 and the eighth leading cause of death to those ages 1 to 4 (Kimmel). Some people
blame it on the fact that there are too many guns that are easily available, and others believe all
of this violence happens because there aren't enough guns. Big brands like Dicks have taken a
stance on this debate and raised the age requirement to purchase a firearm. The other debate
focuses on the mental health of the attacker. They say that the reason people go on killing sprees
is because they aren’t completely put together and they had a bad childhood. This doesn’t always
add up, however, because almost all the shooters came from intact and relatively stable families,
with no history of child abuse. If they had psychological problems at all, they were relatively
minor, and went unnoticed (Kimmel).
The second journal, School Shootings, the Media, and Public Fear, focuses on school
shootings as a moral panic, and it also looks at the roles played by the media and politicians in
using isolated incidents to support their interests or distract the public eye. In the .

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
1. Covering Suicide
Rachele Kanigel
San Francisco State University
http://www.slideshare.net/rkanigel/covering-suicide
2. Suicide: To cover or not to cover?
When should a news organization report news
of a suicide?
Why should a news organization report a
suicide?
What are the reasons for not reporting on
suicide?
How can journalists, especially student
journalists, cover suicide responsibly?
3. Most professional news
organizations DO NOT cover suicide
unless…
It causes a public spectacle
It’s committed in connection with another
crime, such as a homicide or kidnapping
It’s committed by a public figure
4. Student news organizations often
DO cover suicide because…
It may affect a large segment of the campus
community
Suicide is the leading cause of death among
college students (6 suicides per 100,000
college students per year, according to a
recent study)
Coverage can dispel rumors
It can help the community heal and make
sense of a tragedy
5. “The media can play a powerful role in
educating the public about suicide
prevention. Stories about suicide
can inform readers and viewers about
the likely causes of suicide, its warning
signs, trends in suicide rates, and recent
treatment advances. They can also
highlight opportunities to prevent suicide.
--American Society of Suicidology
6. Risk: Suicide clusters
Every year in the United States 100 to 200
youngsters die in suicide clusters, and there
are signs that the rate is rising.
Suicide clusters in the U.S. occur
predominantly among teenagers and young
adults.
-- Suicide and Mental Health Association
International
7. Media contagion
Research suggests that spotlighting a suicide
through media coverage can actually
encourage others to follow suit -- especially if
suicide is portrayed as glamorous or romantic.
Prominent newspaper (or television) coverage
of a suicide has been found to increase
suicidal behavior within the
readership(viewing) area of the newspaper
(network).

9. Ethics Case Study: U of Portland
In March 2009 a University of Portland student
committed suicide
The Beacon wrote a story with the headline:
“Suicide claims UP senior”
University officials pulled the paper, saying the
headline was insensitive, inappropriate and
“designed to shock people.”
10. Ethics Case Study: U of Portland
Suicide claims UP senior
Do you think the headline was insensitive?
What would you have done if campus officials
yanked your paper from the racks in a
situation like this?

12. Ethics Case Study: San Francisco
State University
In September a SFSU student set
himself on fire at a gas station.
Here are the original Golden Gate
Xpress story and a follow-up:

14.
15. Ethics Case Study: SFSU
What do you think of the use of suicide
in the headlines?
Is the original story too graphic?
Should the paper have described the
cause of death?
Should the paper have gone into so
much detail about his state of mind?
16. Ethics Case Study: University of
Ottawa
On Sept. 19, 2009 a 19-year-old jumped
to his death from the 15th floor of a U of
Ottawa residence hall
The Fulcrum named the student but
didn’t say how he died
17.
18. Case Study: University of Ottawa
Should the story have included the fact
the student had committed suicide?
Was it irresponsible to say the student
fell rather than that he jumped?
Did the paper sweep the issue under the
rug or protect its readers?
19.
20. Ethics Case Study: Princeton U
Was it responsible for The Daily
Princetonian to report on a suicide
attempt?
When is it appropriate to report on an
attempted suicide?
24. Ethics Case Study: Texas Tech U.
Was The Daily Toreador insensitive in its
coverage of the story?
What could the paper have done to
ensure the story wouldn’t offend readers
and friends of the dead young man?
Should editors worry about offending
friends and family members in covering
a suicide or simply report the truth?
26. How to cover suicide responsibly
Don’t oversimplify reasons for the
suicide, such as blaming it on stress.
Don’t make it seem painless or easy.
Don’t sensationalize the death.
Avoid melodramatic languague – ex:
tragic death, a life cut short
27. How to cover suicide responsibly
Don’t glorify the victim.
Don’t engage in ongoing or excessive
coverage.
Don’t use the word suicide unless official
sources – police or family members –
confirm the cause of death was suicide.
28. How to cover suicide responsibly
Don’t provide a how-to; don’t cover the
method of death in detail.
Bring awareness to the problem
Offer resources -- suicide hotlines,
counseling services, etc.
Doublecheck statements from family
members
