Abstract

This article presents a quantitative analysis with a gender perspective of the informative pieces related to health in Basque newspapers. The main objective is to analyze the representativeness and visibility of women during states of alarm in the four mainstream newspapers with the largest circulation in the Basque Country. The results show that, in general, the presence of men is greater than that of women. There is a gender gap in favor of men in the use of information sources and when choosing the protagonists of articles. However, there is also fair data regarding the authorship of the informative pieces and photographs.
