Keywords:

Abstract
The aim of the research is to find out the specific characteristics of the journalistic treatment of the photography in which appear minors regarding the news coverage of armed conflicts in some of the most relevant newspapers of Spain (El País, El Mundo, Abc y La Vanguardia) and the main free papers (Qué!, 20 minutos). The analysis using 29 variables includes the 111 pictures spread during 2010. Childhood, converted intentionally in icon of victims of violence, appears consistently in the images, especially with regard to Palestinian–Israeli and Afghanistan conflicts. Snapshots, regularly distributed by the international press agencies, mostly violate the right to the own image of the protagonists, infringe settled principles of the journalistic ethics and homogenized vision of the reality.Downloads
