Forum on Media and Suicide with Michiko Ueda-Ballmer and Margaret Talev

Safe media reporting is one of the few population-level interventions known to prevent suicide. This year’s forum will provide an opportunity to discuss cutting edge research on media messaging’s impact on suicide and how Canadian media content creators can align their work with international best practices.

Margaret Talev, Kramer Director of the Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship, will provide opening remarks. Michiko Ueda-Ballmer, associate professor of public administration and international affairs, will give a keynote presentation.
