Abstract

The Carter Center on March 6 released a new “Journalism Resource Guide for Mental Health Reporting,” a news release stated. The guide — developed in part with funding from the National Institute for Health Care Management and in partnership with the World Psychiatric Association and the International Center for Journalists, is available in English and Spanish and provides up‐to‐date statistics, resources and guidance on how to report on mental health issues accurately and sensitively. “Our new resource guide reflects what we've learned from more than 250 of our mental health journalism fellows and the increased demand for mental health media coverage to be treated with sensitivity,” said Karen Ladley, senior associate director for the Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism. “The guide also integrates consequences and challenges posed by the COVID‐19 pandemic, when depression and anxiety rates rose about 25% in the first year, according to the World Health Organization.”
