For folks that aren't aware, there are documented effects surrounding media reporting on suicides. They're sometimes referred to as contagion effects, copycat effects, the Werther Effect (and inversely, the Papagano Effect). That goes for both suicides of people in the neighborhood as well as celebrity suicides. Source.
News outlets did indeed regularly report on suicides in the past. There were strings of teen suicides that were reported on in the 1980s, and because of the serial nature of these suicides, the media wondered if its own reporting was sensationalizing them, leading to more frequent suicides.
Then, in the late 1980s, there were serial suicides on the subway system in Vienna. Local media/newsrooms then collaborated with the Viennese government and decided, in unison, to stop reporting on suicides as a result, and suicides dropped by 75%.
I lean quite liberal, but I've also had quite the gripe with the (liberal) media when it comes to mass shootings along similar lines. Gun control becomes the issue of the day fairly regularly, and the liberal media very much gets high up on their fucking horse about it. But they never stop reporting these mass shootings, do they? There is something they can do about it, but they prefer to get their clicks. Seems very goddamn hypocritical to me.
Anyway, while Tangle does report on mass shootings, I can at least offer my sincerest commendation to them for having a policy of not naming shooters. Tangle doesn't have a partisan angle, no default dog in the fight on the topic of gun control. And yet they see there's something they can do to minimize their impact on encouraging future would-be mass shooters. At least they're doing something. Kudos to y'all for having an ethical backbone.
