Om ansvarlig medieomtale

Washington Post 07.02.18

Lars Mehlum er siteres i Washington Post om pressedekningen av Robin Williams' selvmord i 2014 og fremhever betydningen av forebyggende medieomtale: “- Sadly, there were all too many examples of unfortunate presentations of the case of Robin Williams' suicide. - Many journalists failed to mention the huge health problems Williams struggled with (both mentally and physically), but rather portrayed a glorified version of the event. This is not according to international guidelines for media reporting of suicide."
