"The recent series of broadacst reportage of a student committing suicide from the University of the Philippines, Manila has sparked different exchanges over the media from reporters themselves to various students and groups in the online medium. Thus, this particular research problematizes the discourse that ensued in the reportage and of reactions from people who participated in the online discussions. The online newspapers analyzed were The Philippine Daily Inquirer, The Philippine Star, GMA, Rappler, InterAksyon, while video footage came from the Youtube channels of GMA and ABS-CBN. Lastly, the sample included commentaries from The Philippine Daily Inquirer, InterAksyon, ABS-CBN and Rappler. Using Critical Discourse Analysis as its approach, the research ventured into researching the link between media and suicide. It included a discussion of language and labels as a tool to reinstate an image of the person who committed the act and as well, a way for society to better investigate the act. Additionally, the research evaluated the usage of the death to forward political mileage, and deconstruct the space used to show what forms of agenda are forwarded. Hence, CDA's use multimodal approach was used to analyze lexical choices and images used by said agencies as producers of news content. The study also included the analysis on lexical choices used by commenters in online forums as receivers of the news content. In particular, how the public represented several social actors involved in the news. Ultimately, the research aims to provide materials for the suicide reportage discourse through the online medium." Suicide in mass media Philippines. Critical discourse analysis.
