The Bridgend Suicides - Suicide and the Media (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016)

This in depth analysis looks at how suicide was represented in the
British press when 20 young people between the ages of 15 and 29
took their own lives in the South Wales Borough of Bridgend in
2008. The chapters highlight specific categories of description
that journalists use to explain suicide to their readers. The study
also examines the discourses that emerged around suicide that
continue to perpetuate stigma and shame when suicide occurs today.
Using her own experience of having lost a loved one to suicide,
coupled with original research, the author gives a very frank
explanation of why suicide is not accepted in society today.
