The journalist, writer and television producer, Gabriel Carrión in San Javier yesterday criticized the media are becoming "counters" dead on gender violence, "the danger of setting the counter to zero each one of January. "
Gabriel Carrion, who gave a lecture in the program organized by the Department of Women and Equality on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Domestic Violence against Women, reviewed the relationship between media and violence against women, since the mid- 80 to today.
Based on its experience in television, Carrion remembered as the 80 "is allowed to do everything in the newsroom."
Journalists sometimes acted as "predators" of stories to get more audience.
"The media tried to provide more security to the protagonists of the stories but finally happened otherwise, and justice was not much."
Television continued to address the issue of violence with mixed results depending on the approach, until the mid-90s chains incorporate programs that begin to appear that charged large amounts famous for telling his story of abuse.
According to Carrión, the media realize that the famous stories get more audience than that of ordinary people, which is relegated to the talk-show afternoon.
It is in one of these programs, "Patricia's Diary" when a case involves a before and after in the treatment of gender violence on television, according to Gabriel Carrión.
Svetlana was the case, a woman abused by her partner who is reconciled with the "down" by the program that brings live.
Months later killed her.
The examination of conscience that made the media at the time and the reaction of the judiciary bringing order to the news coverage of these stories, the main consequence was a decline gathered information on gender violence "that almost passes taboo, unless the case is much girl. "
Gabriel Carrión recently gave the example of how "after hours and hours of television talk shows about sex between a minor and an adult in the case of murdered by her former partner less in the Salobral, Albacete, the media have paid scant attention to the recent decision of a judge vacated Totana a man of 30 who had had sex with a girl of 12 years, to say that it would not do more.
