 Shift has published a new report on media coverage of mental health called Mind Over Matter: Improving Media Reporting of Mental Health. The report finds public understanding of mental health has improved enormously over recent years, as has media reporting. But prejudiced attitudes still remain deeply ingrained in society - and in the media. The report makes a series of recommendations on how to improve media reporting. It calls on government, the media and the mental health sector to work together to improve coverage, particularly of severe mental health problems. The publication is intended to kick-start a debate in the media about the reporting of mental health.
