abstract="From the 1950s onwards, we observed a movement in the Brazilian press that led from spectacularization to the banning of news about suicide (DAPIEVE, 2007), for fear of the so-called &quot;contagion effect&quot; (DURKHEIM, 2000[1897]). However, despite the care regarding the subject in the main newspapers, the number of self-inflicted deaths in the country has been rising significantly. In order to contribute to the debates on the role of the press in preventing the problem, we present a bibliographic research on the editorial treat-ment of suicide, complemented by interviews with journalists who deal with the issue in their professional daily lives and a survey on mentions of the topic in three major newspapers. Based on the results, we present a set of complementary recommendations to those already proposed by the WHO to address the issue. © 2022, Superior School of Advertising and Marketing.
