Al ser expuestos a dos reportajes sobre salud mental —uno del medio nativo digital Fumaça y otro del periódico Público—, manifestaron mayor interés por el primero, ya que, en tanto que su formato en audio y la narración en primera persona les ofrecía un enfoque más cercano y les generaba mayor empatía, comprensión e interés..
