EDITOR’S NOTE: Suicides constitute a public health problem. Before, the Stadiumlike much of the professional media, has avoided publishing articles on the subject, for fear that it would serve as incitement. However, given the increase in deaths and suicide attempts in recent years, particularly among children and adolescents, the Stadium begins to discuss the issue further. According to experts, It is necessary to set the agenda for debate, but with cautionto help with prevention. Suicide journalism can offer hope to those at risk and their families, reduce stigma, and inspire open, positive dialogue. THE Stadium follows the recommendations of textbooks and experts when reporting cases and explaining the phenomenon.
