- Abstract
In Spain three people commit suicide for each traffic accident but intentional death is still silenced in newspapers for understanding that its visibility promotes imitation of this kind of behavior. The World Health Organization encourages since the year 2000 a guideline for suicide coverage in which different conducts are included; to inform responsibly and aiming prevention dynamics. This investigation looks through style guides and codes of ethics from the FAPE, Spanish Journalism associations and 23 international professional organizations. It analyzes online news from a six-month period in several media (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia, La Voz de Galicia y El Periódico, The Guardian, Le Monde, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Corrieri della Sera y Público) to identify if there is any guidance that orders the informative coverage. This study has also the aim to find out if these neewspapers tend to follow Werther (silence) or Papageno (prevention) effect.
