Representation of Conjugal Femicide in the Media during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has represented a high impact situation for the nations around the world. The measures imposed by the Governments, the unavoidable changes and particularly the lockdowns had and still have many repercussions for all the people. In this context, the most affected groups have been children, elderly people and women. Even if before the pandemic has started, the violence against women was considered a significant matter that needs more attention from the part of the national and international entities, during the health crisis, each country underlined that the number of domestic violence cases increased and also the number of femicides. This paper will provide a large perspective regarding the manner in which Romanian journalists depicted the domestic femicides during March 2020-May 2021, using the discourse analysis and the thematic content analysis. The main objective of this study is to identify specific patterns, recurrent themes and actors that appear when a journalist presents a domestic femicide. The conclusions will focus on the differences and similarities between the articles selected for this research in order to create a clearer image of a phenomenon that constantly increases: the femicide.
