Representaciones de la mujer en la prensa escrita: análisis de contenidos diario Correo.

Abstract

At this time, the participation of women is as important as that of men and despite having achieved several achievements, these are not visible at all. Discrimination is also gender violence and newspapers continue to exclude women from various fields and highlight it as a synonym of beauty and weakness. Newspapers are builders of social reality and generate models on the "must be" or the "must follow". Therefore, the objective was to determine the representation of women in the newspaper articles published by daily newspaper Correo, in one of the months with high femicide rates. For this, an analysis of the journalistic notes was made, to know if the woman is misinterpret and stereotyped in the press?Some of the results were that women have 19% participation in local news; of that figure, 67% are protagonists and, for the most part, they are not marked by gender stereotypes. However, in 24% it is highlighted by its "body" or by some "transgressive behavior". Women continue to be discriminated against in some sections and their participation is minimal in the information spaces, in comparison with men.
