Such media reports should be sensitive and restrained. jugendschutz.net, in cooperation with the National Suicide Prevention Program and the German Society for Suicide Prevention, has prepared current recommendations for reporting on the topic of suicide & Internet on the occasion of the World Day of Suicide Prevention on September 10.
