"The investigation into uncovering the poison seller plays out like an emotional drama, with nail-biting suspense. This series reveals the darker world of the internet and will hopefully help to break the social silence around suicide."
Yeah, no. This sentence right here in the article shows how little tact these reporters and producers have towards this matter. You can't say you want to break the silence about suicide but then refer to people's struggles as some dark, suspenseful, drama. The real stories of what lead people down that route shouldn't be used as a cheap display of public entertainment.
It's just a way for them to get clicks, views, and accolades. In the UK media, you will often see this type of character saying they're bringing awareness towards an issue, and pat themselves on the back for doing so, but then no actual pragmatic steps are taken to address the root causes of suicide. Instead of wasting taxpayer money on those gaudy BBC hit pieces, and paying the salary of these "investigative journalists" they should put their money into research and improving the health services.
As usual, there is no respect for those who are struggling to the point where we would rather be dead. But like I said, it's not genuine. Seeming like you care about social issues is seen as a noble thing.
