Análisis crítico del tratamiento periodístico de la violencia de género a través del pódcast “Con lupa y entre líneas”

Abstract

The media plays a crucial role in shaping the public perception that people have of the world. Through them, acts of violence that occur in different spheres are recorded and reported, fluctuating between the public and the private, serving as a means to highlight this problem. Therefore, the way in which violent acts are reported influences how the public interprets them and how the government responds to them. Reason why this work investigated relevant information about the formation of patriarchal and sexist societies, gender-based violence, the study of women, and provides an overview of how news about gender-based violence is addressed from the perspective of communication and journalism. This was done through a three-episode podcast that analyzes and critiques journalistic practices from the perspective of human rights and gender. The analysis focuses on the coverage of the case of Maribel Pinto, a femicide that occurred in November 2020 in Cuenca, Ecuador.
