| dc.description.abstract | South Africa has a femicide rate that is six times the world average. Over 2,500 women aged 14 years or older are murdered every year, the majority of these women killed by an intimate partner. Despite the prevalence of femicide, less than 20% of these murders are ever reported in South African news media. Studies on news-media coverage of femicide reveal a subjective and obscure process of media selection and exclusion, which contribute to an archive of crime reporting that is not reflective of actual crime rates and which actively distort the nature and frequency of certain types of crime. This influences public perceptions and fear of violent crime, including notions of who is a suspect and who is most at risk. This study uses mixed-method approaches to document and analyse the content and extent of commercial news media coverage of femicides that took place in South Africa during the 2012/2013 crime reporting year, through an original media database listing 408 femicide victims associated with 5,778 press articles. Victim and incident information is compared with epidemiological and statistical data, including mortuary-based studies and police crime statistics. Media data is explored through various media effects models, including a mixed methods framing analysis, and is also examined by title, and by language. These analyses reveal how media constructs and depicts particular notions of gender, violence, race, and crime in South Africa. contact Nechama.Brodie@wits.ac.za | en_ZA |
| dc.description.additional | his database lists South African news media text reports of female homicide victims aged 14 years and older (femicide) who were killed between 01 April 2012 and 31 March 2013. The database includes a victim and incident section, which includes information sourced from the media reports about the victim demographics, the location, and cause of death, and any data about the perpetrator including the relationship to the victim if this was reported, and whether or not any arrests or convictions were reported. The second part of the database lists the media coverage associated with the victim, from the time of her death until August 2017 (last date of data capture), which includes the platform or publication, the date of publication, the byline, and a reference for the URL and/or the file name of the association article.
