TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Evolution of news coverage on accidents and suicides in the Spanish digital press (2010-2017) JO - Historia y Comunicacion Social A1 - Olivar-Julián, J. A1 - Segado-Boj, F. A1 - Díaz-Campo, J. SP - 143 EP - 160 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - This study measures the evolution (2010-2017) of the information coverage in the Spanish digital press of the main causes of external death in Spain: suicides, accidental falls, drowning and traffic accidents. The main characteristics of their treatment (sensationalism, preventive approach, young victim, famous victim and proximity) are also analyzed. A content analysis has been carried on 4.733 journalistic pieces published by the digital newspapers elpais.com, elmundo.es, abc.es, lavanguardia.com, elconfidencial.com and 20minutos.es collected through the Mynewsonline archive. The results confirm a growing trend in the publication of news about traffic accidents and an absence of preventive focus in news of suicides. © 2022 Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
