Effects of stigmatizing media coverage on stigma measures, self-esteem, and affectivity in persons with depression – an experimental controlled trial | BMC Psychiatry | Full Text. BMC Psychiatry; BMC Psychiatry . https://bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12888-019-2123-6 This article investigates the stigmatization of mental illness and how it is portrayed in the media. It took a close look at how the media directly affects those with mental illnesses such as depression and low self esteem. The experiment took a group of 180 participants that were all clinically diagnosed with depression and investigated how the stigma about mental illness in the media affected them. They concluded that there is an effect with films causing a stigma with mental illness even when it is in a single film. This article relates to our project because it shows that the media has an effect on people with mental instability, however we want to further these findings by seeing if it also affects those in the general public.

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 126(1), 79–80. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0447.2012.01876.x This particular article was done in Islamabad, and looked at the effects of watching violent acts on the news. It compared their personal experiences with violent acts and watching violent acts on the news. The participants had one years worth of reported television usage. During this usage they watched violent acts on tv at least 5 days a week for at least one hour each time. Its results showed that watching the news can cause indirect effects of PTSD. This article is important to our research because it is related to our study. The study yielded positive results that show watching tv has a negative impact on victims of PTSD. Therefore if it has effects on victims of violence there could also be an effect on people’s outlook on life after watching news studies.
