abstract="OBJECTIVE: To detect features of violence and sexism in cartoons in the children's programmes of Spanish television companies. DESIGN: Analysis of the content of cartoons broadcast by TV-1, TV-2, Canal Sur, Antena 3 and Tele 5 during one week. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The programmes recorded were viewed by two independent observers, first separately and then together. All those scenes with violent contents or sexist messages were noted. The main findings were: a) violent contents were very common; b) roles and jobs linked to gender were found; c) advertising accompanied and was inserted within children's programming. CONCLUSIONS: The points identified show the need for both school and family to encourage children to develop a critical attitude to the messages they receive.<p /><p>Language: es</p>",
