Amaç: İntihar haberlerinin medyada sunum şekli ile intihar riskinde artış arasında ilişki olduğubildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; Türkiye’ deki intihar haberlerinin sunum şeklini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada 2016-2017 yılları arasında internet ortamında yer alan intihar haberleri incelenmiştir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütünün (DSÖ) medya çalışanları için hazırladığı intihar haberlerinin sunum şekli ile ilgili öneriler sunan kılavuzu esas alınarak, intihar haberleri içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Bu bağlamda internet haberlerinin başlık ve içeriklerine odaklanılmıştır. İntihar haberlerinin içeriği toplumu bilgilendirip bilgilendirmediğine göre kodlanmış ve sınıflandırılmıştır. Bulgular: 2016 - 2017 yılları arasında internette yer bulan toplam 106 intihar haberi taranmış ve bu haberlerin başlıkları DSÖ’nün önerilerine göre kodlandığında, 98’inin “uygunsuz” (%92); 8’nin “uygun” (%8) olduğu bulunmuştur. 98 “uygunsuz” başlığın 7’sinde (%7) intihar kelimesi kullanılmamasına rağmen, yöntem ve/veya intiharın gerçekleştiği mekanın açık bir şekilde tanımlandığı görülmüştür. Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonuçları Türkiye’de intihar haberlerinin sunum kriterlerini içeren bir medya kılavuzunun hazırlanması ya da en azından intihar haberlerinin sunumunda DSÖ’nün önerilerine uyulmasına olan gerekliliği tekrar göstermiştir

Results: A total of 106 suicide news, which were reported between 2016 and 2017, were scanned and when the headlines of this news were coded according to WHO recommendations, it was found out that 98 of them were "inappropriate" (92%) and 8 were found to be "appropriate" (8%) .Although the word of suicide was not used in 7 of 98 "inappropriate" headlines (7%), it was seen that the method and/or place used for commiting suicide were/was clearly defined. Conclusion: Results of the study demonstrated that there is a need for preparing a media guideline for Turkish media containing the reporting criteria of suicide news or at least there is a need for complying with WHO recommendations for reporting style of suicides in media
