Contribuição do jornalismo diário da TV Miramar para a consciencialização do público sobre violência contra a mulher

Abstract

This research study aimed at discovering the contribution of Miramar TV in the construction of public awareness about Violence against Women (VAW) in Mozambique, taking into account the Role of the Media in the change of public perceptions of the reality. Using a theoretical background built from the studies of Santos (2008), Jukic (2016) and Figueiredo et al (2018), the aim of this study is to understand if Miramar information services present contents about VAW with the use of the correct name of the violence in the text, b) Contextualization of the story in a social point of view and c) Absence of stereotypes in VAW-related stories. Through a mixed approach, the study has shown that Miramar’s Journalistic material does not have all the technical aspects that are needed to raise the awareness of the public, as its stories are mostly based in Immediate facts, with low level of contextualization and present gender based stereotypes.
