Numerous studies have shown that reports of suicide can lead to imitation acts, particularly when the report is prominent, glamorises or sensationalises suicide and/or describes the method of suicide in detail[1, 2]. Similarly, a number of studies have demonstrated that the media strongly influences community beliefs about mental illness, suggesting that inappropriate reports may contribute to stigma and discrimination. In 1999, such concerns led the Australian Government to introduce the Mindframe National Media Initiative, in an effort to encourage responsible, accurate and sensitive media portrayal of suicide and mental illness. A key component of this initiative is a resource entitled Reporting Suicide and Mental Illness[3], released in 2002 and designed to provide guidance to media professionals reporting in these areas. This resource was modified from an earlier version known as Achieving the Balance[4], produced in 1999. Around the world, a number of other similar resources have been produced, although most focus exclusively on suicide rather than on suicide and mental health/illness. The majority of these resources have similar content, recommending, for example, that journalists should avoid providing specific detail about a suicide, and should provide help/support information for vulnerable readers or viewers. They differ, however, in terms of the ways in which they have been developed and distributed to media professionals. Reporting Suicide and Mental Illness[3] has stood out internationally because of the involvement of the media in its development, and because of the process by which it has been promoted to the media. The resource has been disseminated via the Mindframe Media and Mental Health Project, which has been managed by the Hunter Institute of Mental Health in partnership with SANE Australia, Auseinet (the Australian Network for Promotion, Prevention and Early Intervention for Mental Health) and Multicultural Mental Health Australia. Project staff have supported media organisations in their use of the resource by conducting face-to-face briefings and drop-in visits, offering ad hoc A advice, distributing hard and soft copies of the resource and supporting materials, and providing ustralia: 2000/01–2006/07 ongoing follow-up. They have also conducted evaluations of the reach and impact of the resource, following organisations up several months after briefings and/or receipt of materials. The current study, known as the Media Monitoring Project, involved a systematic investigation of whether there have been changes in the extent, nature and quality of reporting of suicide and mental health/illness during the life of Reporting Suicide and Mental Illness[3]. The Media Monitoring Project collected media items on suicide and mental illness over two 12-month periods, one prior to the introduction of Reporting Suicide and Mental Illness[3] (2000/01), and one subsequent to its introduction and dissemination (2006/07). It did this with the aim of answering the following research questions: a) How does the Australian media report and portray suicide and mental health/illness in 2006/07? 3 b) Does this differ from how the Australian media reported and portrayed suicide and mental health/illness in 2000/01? c) Are any apparent differences in reporting and portrayal of suicide and mental health/ illness between 2000/01 and 2006/07 associated with Reporting Suicide and Mental roject P Illness? The Media Monitoring Project has two components, one quantitative and one qualitative. This section of the report describes the way in which the quantitative study was conducted, onitoring M its findings and their meaning. Chapter 2 describes the scope of the study, the method by which media items were identified and retrieved, and the way in which the data were handled. edia Chapter 3 provides a broad overview of the media items retrieved in 2000/01 and 2006/07, M and Chapters 4 to 11 present the comparative findings as they relate to particular types of he T media items. Finally, Chapter 12 summarises the findings in relation to the research questions, outlines some study limitations, offers an interpretation of the results and makes some recommendations regarding future directions. The qualitative results of the study are presented in the second part of this volume.

We pay our respects to the Yugara and Turrbal people and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Page 3 PRESIDENT'S REPORT Hi everyone and welcome to our AGM. As you will have been aware there have been huge changes at the Station and I would like to just take a few moments to put things into perspective. We have lived through what is probably the fastest changing dynamic the world has ever seen and the momentum is growing. When I grew up all we had was radio and we listened faithfully to all the programmes as there was only one Station – the BBC in England and the ABC here. I worked at the BBC in the 50s and we had the huge tapes that I recognised when I came to 4RHP about 12 years ago. My first training on a computer was in the mid 70s and that was at one of the first companies to use computers. All very strange to us. The machines were big and bulky and the computer had a whole room to itself. We slowly got used to that and when I opened my own business in the early 80s we had home computers and can you believe it a mobile phone that was huge.
