All Access Pass- An Interview with Diane Middents

In this edition of All Access Pass, I did an interview with Mrs. Diane Middents, whose son, Josh Middents, committed suicide in November of 2004. Her son’s death, although tragic, nonetheless rallied her family and her community to the cause of suicide prevention that will eventually lead to Josh’s Voice, a foundation that sells suicide awareness bracelets in Josh Middent’s memory.

From The Archives: Suicide Prevention (2006)

This is a report I made in October of 2006, on a suicide prevention foundation that was established in a late High School student’s memory.

This report was produced while I was still a member of Sun Devil Television, a student run television station on the campus of Arizona State University. I left the station in December 2006.

Background Information: Josh’s Voice was established in memory of Joshua David Middents, who was a High School Senior at Mountain Pointe High School in Phoenix, Arizona when he committed in November of 2004. His aunt, who attempted suicide when she was a teenager, established Josh’s Voice in his memory. The foundation sells suicide awareness bracelets on the Internet and at Josh Middent’s old High School.

I would like to thank the Middents family for opening their doors- and hearts- to my intrusion and their willingness to being interviewed.

From the Archives: ASU Downtown Move-In (2006)

This is a report I made in August of 2006, when the ASU Downtown Phoenix campus opened and students began to move into the dormitories there. The dorm was a hotel in earlier times, and it is situated across the street from the Arizona Republic headquarter. This report was made when I was still affiliated with Sun Devil Television (SDTV).

Background Information: ASU Downtown Phoenix (Official Name: Arizona State University at the Downtown Phoenix Campus ) was in planning after Michael Crow became President of ASU in 2002. The school, situated in Downtown Phoenix, now holds the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation and the College of Public Programs. By late 2008, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, along with KAET, the Phoenix PBS affiliate, will also make the move to ASU Downtown.
