Abstract

Introduction. Based on the social responsibility theory of media and the research on youth, gender-based violence and the media, this research studies the knowledge and misconceptions that the Journalism student has in relation to gender-based violence. Methodology. After the #MORE COMMITMENT initiative held on 25N, a survey among students of Journalism Degree from the University of Valladolid was performed. The results were analyzed quantitatively using SPSS, both descriptive and inferential obtaining statistical data. Results. It is noted that initiatives against gender violence generate commitment among students. The research detected distortions, both in men and women, on fundamental issues as for the definition of gender violence. The students are less favorable to implement the recommendations of experts and admit that false allegations as one of the main causes of initiatives related to awareness against gender-based violence sometimes generated social rejection. Conclusions. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of these actions in the specialized training of journalists, but also a greater rejection of women towards the representation of gender-based violence in the media and the awareness activities around it.
