Mindframe welcomes release of the NSW Government recommendations of the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Drug ‘Ice’ (the Inquiry) and the inclusion of the Mindframe guidelines among the recommendations (Recommendation Three).
Mindframe and Cracks in the Ice have released new guidelines to inform, support and empower media to report safely and responsibly about crystal methamphetamine in ways which minimise harm, stigma and discrimination while maximising help-seeking behaviour.
As media continue to cover the incident, which occurred yesterday (19 February 2020) in Camp Hill, Queensland Mindframe urges media to avoid including explicit information that may be harmful to vulnerable audiences.
Mindframe wishes to acknowledge the grief and loss felt in the communities affected following the incident that occurred in Camp Hill, Queensland this morning. We would like to encourage media to be mindful of the Mindframe guidelines in relation to coverage around this incident.
Mindframe wishes to endorse the statement from the family of Wilson Gavin and their call for compassion for all impacted communities at this time.
Mindframe is aware that media reports are circulating around a suspected death relating to the protests at Brisbane Library over the weekend.
Mindframe calls on media to promote support information for psychological distress to communities directly impacted by bushfires, including emergency and relief workers and the wider Australian public during continued media and social media coverage.
Mindframe encourages Australian media to remain responsible in its coverage of the abusive letters that have been sent to farmers in rural NSW.
Mindframe extends congratulations to the winning recipients of the annual Ossie Awards, Chelsea Byrne and Steven Loomes, presented at the prestigious Journalism Education and Research Association of Australia (JERAA) Conference in Sydney.
Representatives from Everymind’s Mindframe team, Elizabeth Paton, Jennifer Howard and Clare Jones will be presenting at the Journalism Education and Research Association of Australia (JERAA) conference from 4-6 December.
