Actress and social justice advocate Ashley Judd will speak May 9 at a National Press Club Headliners luncheon on the need for responsible and respectful reporting on suicides.
Judd's mother, Grammy-winning country music artist Naomi Judd was suffering from mental illness when she died by suicide on April 30, 2022.
"The trauma of discovering and then holding her laboring body haunts my nights," Ashley Judd wrote in The New York Times. "As my family and I continue to mourn our loss, the rampant and cruel misinformation that has spread about her death, and about our relationships with her, stalks my days."
Judd will speak about the trauma her family suffered, how reporters can report more responsibly on suicide, and the need for more robust privacy laws.
Remarks begin at 1 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session ending at 2 p.m.
To submit a question in advance for the speaker, put JUDD in the subject line and email it to headliners@press.org. The deadline for submitting questions in advance is 10 a.m. on the day of the luncheon.
