“…Women's role is usually depicted in the news media as victims (Bleiker & Hutchison, 2019;Busso et al, 2020) and this influences the way GBV is covered. Still, information regarding GBV is biased and the problem it poses is usually silenced by explicit details (Buiten & Salo, 2007;Cuklanz, 2014;ElSherief et al, 2017;Wong & Lee, 2018). Overall, the portrayal of violence against women in news media is a complex issue that requires critical examination and attention.…”

Despite being an underreported topic in the news media, gender-based violence (GBV) undermines the health, dignity, security and autonomy of its victims. Research has studied many of the factors that generate or maintain this kind of violence. However, the influence of the media is still uncertain. This paper used Big Data techniques to explore how GBV is depicted and reported in digital news media. By feeding neural networks with news, the topic information associated with each article can be recovered. Our findings show a relationship between GBV news and public awareness, the effect of well-known GBV cases, and the intrinsic thematic relationship of GBV news with justice themes.

“…Several international literature studies on media coverage of domestic violence and intimate partner violence have been conducted by researchers such as Bullock & Cubert (2002); Bullock (2007); Meyers (1996Meyers ( , 1997; and Carlyle et al (2008). In the South African context, several studies have investigated GBV, such as Buiten & Salo (2007); Shefer (2013), Van Niekerk (2015; Jewkes et al, (2011); Seedat et al, (2009); Lewin et al, (2013); Gqola (2007); and Watson & Lalu (2015). In Chapter Two, this study will further contribute to the existing literature on GBV by considering the 16 Days of Activism campaign and the role of community newspapers in the reporting of GBV.…”

“…According to Silima (2019), the media is key in shaping how people think, and how it reports on issues of femicide impacts how society deals with it. Buiten & Salo (2007) problematise the reporting of GBV in the South African media because they believe news reports shift away from misogynistic acts of violence by perpetrators towards a problematisation of the spaces and immediate circumstances in which the violence occurs. In a research on media reporting on gender-based violence against women in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jukic (2016) pointed that the media do not initiate the topic of violence against women but rather they report on it by way of short news once they get the information from their source, most frequently police sources or non-governmental organizations.…”

This study primarily concerns how word choice and framing contribute to agenda-setting in reporting gender-based violence (GBV) in three KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) community newspapers from November 2021 to December 2022. Three weekly English community newspapers, namely, Zululand Observer, Maritzburg Echo and South Coast Sun, were purposively selected and provided the data for this study. The key objectives of this study were to look at descriptive and emotive words used in the GBV-related articles posted by the three publications; to determine if any changes occurred in the framing of articles during the 16 Days of Activism campaign period of November to December 2021 and November to December 2022, and to determine how word choice and framing prioritised the issue of GBV in terms of the media agenda setting.This study was guided by framing theory. A mixed-method research approach was used to collect and analyse the data. Quantitative content analysis was used to tally all GBV-related stories published during the period of study and to record all descriptive and emotive words used in these stories.Qualitative thematic analysis was used to group these words according to similarities and connotations to identify emerging themes on GBV. Because GBV is an issue that comes out of the private into the public sphere through being reported in community newspapers and other media platforms, it is important for this study to look at word choice and framing and, for this reason, initiate future debate on media responsibility when reporting on GBV.Looking at national stats-to-story-frequency and priority ratio, findings indicate that GBV was not given priority in the publications under review. Overall, 42% of all the GBV-related stories discussed in this study were posted during the two 16 Days of Activism time periods discussed. This indicates an outstanding visibility of GBV-related stories compared to the rest of the study period. Lastly, literature on GBV and the media in South Africa is very broad, but the study of word choice in the media, especially community newspapers in South Africa is yet to be thoroughly explored through research. This study acknowledges literature on analysing discourse around GBV in the South African media, that has been done by scholars such as Kulne Oparinde
