Abstract

This article explores the evolution of the Basque print media's approach to reporting labour fatalities, beginning with an analysis of press coverage of workplace-related deaths in the Province of Biscay during the period 2001-2009. Our initial hypothesis held that the regional press policy of treating certain types of violent death (such as deaths related to violence perpetrated by Basque separatists and gender violence) as key social issues has been in sharp contrast to its perception and handling of labour-related fatalities, which have generally been treated as undifferentiated local news events and lumped together with items such as traffic accidents. This paper is part of a wider research project financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation titled «The evolution of newspaper coverage of violent deaths in the Basque Country» (reference CSO2010-19866).
