Call for Headline Data Research Partners

We have data and we’d like you to use it.

Headline’s work involves examining how the Irish media reports on suicide and mental ill health. As part of this process, we gather an enormous amount of data on what’s written.

Right now, we don’t have all the resources we need to examine that data to its fullest potential. We’re inviting expressions of interest from researchers who have a focus on the area of media practice and mental health.

Applications for access are subject to approval by the Headline team. Applicants must have demonstrated research experience.

To see our current outputs from the source data, visit the Media Monitoring section of our most recent Quarterly Review.

If you are interested, please fill out the Expression of Interest form below.
