- Remember that our 'Mental Health in the Media'
page is designed to alert people to programmes
before they are shown. If you have seen a programme
and you would like to comment on it, we would still

Information: Shift's Media Monitor service has been designed to help the media to produce a more accurate picture of mental health. It does this by encouraging people to make contact with journalists, editors and programme makers, explaining to them how their coverage of mental health issues makes people feel.
We would like people to let us know when they see coverage in the media that they feel is particularly good or bad. We would also like people to sign up as Media Monitors. We send alerts about good or bad articles and reports to Media Monitors with instructions how they can send praise or complain to the people responsible.
