Keywords: Farmer suicide, reported causes, killing before suicide, print media Introduction Farmers’ suicides have been receiving a lot of media attention, more so by the vernacular local dailies, in recent years. The problem of farmer suicide is both theoretical and interpretative in nature. Although there is an availability of empirical data, there exists a deficiency in establishing interrelationships, due to a lack of sufficient understanding of its trends and [6] complex patterns (Kaviraj, 1984) . A study conducted by the Institute for Development and Communication, Chandigarh, revealed that in Punjab there is no single factor that attributed to the people taking the extreme step. The spate of farmers’ suicides, highlighted by the media in Punjab, is certainly a disturbing phenomenon (Kumar & Sharma, 1998) [7]. Media portrayal of suicide has been associated with copycat behavior, especially if the reported suicide is glorified or sensationalized or if the [1] method is explicitly described (Chen et al., 2011) . Further, media can be a source of misinformation about suicide, often simplistically giving the impression that suicide is caused predominantly by immediate stressors rather than being linked to mental health problem and/or substance use/misuse (Hawton and Willams, 2005) [4]. In addition, media can help enhance mental health literacy in the community. The media was joined in by the economists, political scientists, sociologists, social workers, and farmer organizations in drawing attention towards this tragic situation. Keeping its importance in mind the present study on Farmer’s Correspondence suicide in Punjab: Analysis of reporting in Print media was planned with the following Manjot Kaur objectives: Senior Research Fellow, Department of Agricultural To analyse the reporting on farmers suicide in Print media Journalism, Languages and To find out the various reported reasons of farmer’s suicide in Punjab.
