THERE'LL ALWAYS BE A PEOPLE WARNER:In a 2005 review of 105 previously published studies, Stack found that about 40% of the studies suggested an association between media coverage of suicide, particularly celebrity suicide, and suicide rates in the general public. He also found a dose-response effect: The more coverage of a suicide, the greater the number of copycat deaths.
BUT 60% OF PAST RESEARCH FOUND NO SUCH LINK, ACCORDING TO STACK'S STUDY.(Conclusive overemphasis added)
A NEUHARTHISM OF THE WEEK AWARD TO MAIA!
