How can the media do better in its portrayal of addiction and recovery? Some celebrities set great examples and some don't—but how much should we care? How damaging is the glamorized image of the addicted "tortured artist"?
These are just a few of the questions we'll be addressing in our Twitter chat today (September 12), from 3-4 pm EST—co-hosted by our friends at Phoenix House. Taking part is easy: just log on to Twitter on the day and search for our new chat-specific hashtag—#popchat. Tweet your answers to the questions posed by @_TheFix and @PhoenixHouse—if you don't follow them yet, do it now!—and make sure to include #popchat in every tweet you send.
