4th Annual Report by The National Observatory On Violence against Women_ Executive Report

In 2009 and 2010 the Government Office for Gender-Based Violence carried out two online opinion polls regarding the way the media handles gender-based violence. The analysis of the results of both polls was complemented by more than 900 interviews with media professionals on the same subject, and was drafted with the collaboration of the sociologist Fernando González Hermosilla. The aim of these surveys was to reveal the points of view both of those who actively transmit the news (media professionals) and of those who are passive recipients of them (the general, non-professional public).
