Summary/Abstract: Journalistic television formats and, in particular, television reports present a journalistic response to incidents in a different way. Time is indicative in the coverage and development of an incident. On the other hand, time can become a function of media coverage that frames the evolution or degradation, from the exclusive and primary media reaction to the now more settled view of the television journalist. The purpose of this report is to look for the reasons for the reaction of the threenational televisions - BNT, BTV, and Nova TV in crises and their impact on theaudience when covering incidents, especially natural disasters. The conclusions made will provide an opportunity to define the problems related to the media’s response in crises and their impact on the audience.
