News round-up: Media does mental health
| 14:48 UK time, Friday, 23 November 2012
It's Friday and this is when we give a rundown of media stories about disability. So let's dwell on media a bit before we list all the headlines ...
On Monday, Stephen Fry hosted Mind charity's Mental Health Media awards. In a ceremony at BFI Southbank in London, awards were presented to TV, radio and the press for their portrayal of mental health issues. See how many of these you remember from the last year.
The Daily Mail published the full list of winners. Frankie Sandford from pop group The Saturdays, who has spoken out about her own mental health problems in the past, presented BBC Three documentary Britain's Biggest Hoarders with one of their two gongs.
BBC Radio 4 drama Henry's Demons received the award for best speech radio and Julia George from BBC Radio Kent was crowned journalist of the year.
Channel 4's US import series Homeland won best drama for their handling of lead character Carrie Mathison's bipolar disorder and ITV's Emmerdale received the soap award for their tackling of Zach Dingle's depression.
