- Title
Crear realidad en televisión: Análisis de la cobertura informativa del genocidio ruandés en Television Española.
- Authors
Gutiérrez, José Carlos Sendín
- Abstract
This paper explores the results of Televisión Española's international information coverage in terms of the process of construction of reality. The case study shown is the TVE coverage of Rwandan genocide of April 1994. Conclusions show that the crisis was poorly covered by TVE despite the tremendous implications for this African country. Besides, the paper explains how stereotyping and framing strategies were employed, taking into account that various relevant facts of the tragedy remained untold. Finally, the paper describes the strategies used in the coverage regarding event construction.
