Abstract

In this paper we approach to the senses that, argentine newspapers, in the case of Clarín and La Nación, adjudge to gender violence. In the last years, the problem has become very visible. This represents an achievement of women's and feminist movements in alliance with journalists committed to trying to influence the agenda of the media, by incorporating these issues. However, their treatment requires our attention because gender violence has specific implications on the lives of women and, tendentious, biased and androcentric treatment contributes to the naturalization of this violence. The role of the mass media is essential.
