Antonia Markiewitz is a predoctoral researcher at LMU Munich and PhD candidate in communication science. Her research focuses on health communication and journalism research and their interaction. Antonia is currently working on a DFG-funded project on how the media–precisely journalists–can contribute to suicide prevention. She also investigates depictions and portrayals of self-harming and suicidal behavior on social network sites and their possible effects on children and adolescents. Antonia’s efforts lie in promoting (the value of) mental health both in society and regarding its depiction in the media.
