Empathy and lack of Empathy in the press in Activism and Social Diversity
Abstract
This research focuses on the mobilizations, demands and news related to three very different human groups (deaf people, gypsies and indignant youth) to observe whether an empathetic attitude of journalists or the media towards the activism of these groups improves the quality of information. With a broad temporal perspective, we analyze the treatment of the press in three foci: the historical mobilizations in 1988 and 2006 of deaf students at Gallaudet University in Washington; the movement of the indignados in Spain on May 15, 2011 in favor of a more participatory democracy, and finally we observe a selection of events related to roman people (gypsies) in Czech Republic, Italy, France and Spain , the las 30 years until 2018.
