Periodismo con perspectiva de género

Abstract

Speaking of gender-sensitive journalism is look at the possibility of generating an inclusive and diverse communication in which all voices are present, equal, regardless of gender identification. This paper gives a brief tour of the first approaches of women to the structures that make up this great system of communication. Approaches that questioned at first media supply and then became content generators in which are reflected the aspirations of many women. They noted the potential of communication to achieve the changes they longed and adopted it as their ally. In this context, it was included in 1995 in the Beijing Platform for Action, Section J, a section that includes the Communication as a law, to break the social schemes that underpin violence, subordination and discrimination . Then, it goes to make a study of important news in two newspapers circulating in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador: El Mercurio, local newspaper, and El Comercio national newspaper. Following a rigorous review process by internationally applied methodology, it appears that the media are not contributing to the elimination of the gender gap, and on the contrary, are based.
