Suicides are always reported in the news here in the north (I'm up for the time being), UNLESS it was a member of the military. And even then, if it's military that involved some crime -other- than suicide, it still ends up getting reported. It isn't just because people want to know how other people die. But there's a suicide epidemic going on, and pretending there isn't, doesn't make it go away. It just makes people not realize that it's a problem that needs to be addressed.
There's a lot of news that the Daily Sun chooses to ignore. Sadly, there are people who only read the Daily Sun, or only watch Fox News, or only watch CNN, or only watch the Today Show or whatever else - they limit their scope of the world.
I suggest that you don't limit your scope of the world, OP. If nothing else, the Daily Sun is entertaining. You can read it just for that purpose, and it'd be well worth the dollar. If you want hard news, you can always find it online at the AP and Reuters feeds (which is where most daily and weekly papers get their non-local news).
