The Infinite Mind has received six journalism awards for two programs, focusing on autism and men and depression. Ms. Davis read Hogan's stunning suicide note, which denounced the insurance industry for not offering those with psychiatric disorders the same coverage as those with physical ailments. After hearing the program, editors of Harper's magazine and The Independent of London reprinted the text of Hogan's suicide note. The radio show is currently being developed into a one-hour television documentary by Lichtenstein Creative Media, producers of The Infinite Mind. The show highlighted the fact that at least 15 percent of people with depression complete the act of suicide, and even higher numbers attempt suicide.
Men are about three times more likely to complete the act.
They often use more violent means than women in attempting suicide, which may account for these deaths. It focuses on the art and science of the human mind, and is hosted by Dr. Fred Goodwin, former Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, and features commentary by John Hockenberry, one of public radio's and television's most respected voices. It was The Infinite Mind's third Unity Award in two years, and Lichtenstein Creative Media's fourth Unity Award in four years. The National Headliner Award was founded in 1934 by the Press Club of Atlantic City, making it one of the oldest and largest annual contests recognizing journalistic excellence. Since the first awards were presented in 1935, more than 1,600 Headliner medallions have been presented to outstanding photographers, writers, graphic artists, daily newspapers, news syndicates, radio and television stations, TV and radio networks and magazines.
