Abstract

In this research there have been analyzed twentyone news programmes, seven per each of the major Spanish television channels (TVE 1, Telecinco and Antena 3). The aim of this work is to consider how these programmes contribute to the social alarm or to the climate of fear that nowadays exists in our country and, so, establish, by comparing the results obtained, the similarities and differences between public and private networks. Different aspects have been taken into account, such as; the level of fear in the contents, the topic used in the information and the time past or futurereferred to news and headlines. The main conclusion is that we can not set a clear distinction between the public and commercial channels.
