Mind Over Matter is a series of research reports commissioned by Shift
that look at how the media covers mental health issues.
Mind Over Matter 2 is Shift's second report analysing media reporting
of mental illness, following on from the first report which looked at
news coverage in 2005. It serves as a benchmark to show whether
reporting is improving. This report, which looks at coverage from
March and October 2006, shows there is a long way to go.
