N2  - The media play has a leading role in the construction of public opinion, especially in relation to sensitive issues like Domestic Violence (DV). The aim of study is to point out how the DV is represented in 2 Italian-newspapers in the years 2002/12 - both are not politically aligned. Seven keywords have been used to point out the appropriate articles, after that two independent researchers categorized the keywords into: form and content. Is observed that there is an higher percentage of DV not denounced. The results show an increase in denunciation of articles from 2002 and 2012, and of women dealing with women was evident. The data point out a change in the conception of damage and the correlation between journalists gender and victims' and perpetrators' portraits. We also observed that there is a preference to generally explain the phenomenon rather than face deeply the problem.<p />
