Suicídio na mídia: uma cartografia do suicídio de Jéssica Canedo a partir de normas de cobertura responsável

The research uses Rosário and Coca’s cartographic method to reflect on the coverage of suicide in media and among journalists. To do so, the paper analyses media responsibility and how the press constructed the suicide of Jéssica Canedo, a 22-year-old girl who killed herself after fake conversations between herself and the humorist Whindersson Nunes were published. The content was widely disseminated on social media profiles, among them, Choquei, on Instagram. To conduct the analysis, 51 news pieces from 9 Brazilian newspapers were selected. Subsequently, they were analyzed using a framework based on guidelines from health institutions and media companies for responsible coverage of suicide, as well as through discourse analysis. The findings show poor journalistic coverage of the event and how the far-reaching potential of social media brings new concerns to the field of media responsibility.
