Deontología periodística sobre violencias contra las mujeres. Un estudio retrospectivo (1999-2018)

Abstract

This research focuses on the study of the deontological production on violence against women (VAW) and media from 1999 to 2018, compiling 58 guidelines. Objective: To analyse the guidelines' commitment level according to a more sensitive journalism for the VAW coverage. Method: indicators have been created through an inductive process and based on the previous scientific literature. For the measurement of the commitment level three ranges of measurement have been established which are optimal, acceptable and negative. Results: only 9% of the guidelines reflect an optimal commitment level, whilst 53% offer a negative result in terms of commitment; the rest (38%) is within the acceptable range. Conclusion: the build-up of guidelines does not correspond to a high level of commitment, but rather seems to be an action based on social desirability and politically correct behavior.
