After every life-ending choice, there is always so much speculation as to why a person would make this decision. How could they leave behind their family, friends, or children? I cannot speak for circumstances surrounding another person’s life-ending decision, but I can speak about my experience and the ripple effect of my mother’s decision to take her own life by suicide 25 years ago. Perhaps my journey through the stages of grief can help shed some light on some of those unanswered questions for people struggling to understand how another person could make a choice to die by their own hands.

Belfast Telegraph 9/9/2020 News Memetic Copaganda: Understanding the Humorous Turn in Police Image Work Recently, numerous police organisations have made a strategic decision to employ humour on social media, via memes and other comical posts, to increase community engagement with their content and manage their public image. One key example of this practice comes from New South Wales Police, a state-based Australian police force whose self-described ‘meme strategy’ led to considerable increases in the organisation’s social media following. Through analysing the content of NSW Police’s memetic copaganda, in this article we unpack this approach to police public relations, detailing its rationale and implications. Police on social media, we argue, must address two very different regimes of visibility: ‘policing’s new visibility’, characterised by the increased visibility of police indiscretion as a result of citizen-produced content, and a ‘threat of invisibility’, in which the visibility of police-produced content on social media is always provisional, never assured. We consequently argue that the humorous turn in police image work represents a countermeasure to not only policing’s new visibility but also the ‘threat of invisibility’ facing police-produced content on social media.
