I seem to recall when that 13 reasons why show came out, there was a ton of press coverage about teen suicide being a shady source of entertainment, and much hand wringing about its hitherto-unknown-to-that-pundits existence, even though its supposedly based on some best selling YA book or something, so I think "hugely increased media coverage about suicide" is technically a result of that show being made, but not in the way era are portraying that.
