    This research analyzes the information presented by digital media outlets that employ sensationalism and the influence this type of content has on the population. It examines how the reality of insecurity is perceived according to what a media outlet selects as important news for its audience. It considers that some digital media outlets, such as the newspaper El Extra, disseminate news based on "what grabs attention," aiming to generate immediate emotions in their consumers. It takes into account that media outlets prioritize information for dissemination, as seen in crime news, which fuels fear about criminal acts. Immediacy is a constant in the present, and news arrives immediately and in large quantities. As a consequence, it can saturate users' minds, generating a tolerance for this content, a distorted view of reality, or a search for blame, thus preventing genuine reflection on these acts. This study examines how digital media outlets that publish graphic content contribute to the perception of insecurity in 2024. It employs communication theories such as cultivation theory, framing theory, and agenda-setting theory, as the frequent dissemination of crime-related news can create a perception of danger far greater than it actually is. A mixedmethods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data, was used, employing content analysis with an interpretive paradigm. This analysis describes how the saturated media coverage of violence contributes to collective fear.

    La muerte como entretenimiento: Sensacionalismo en el manejo de la información de crónica roja de TC Televisión
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Comunicación, 2026-01-21)

    This research examines the crime reports broadcast by TC Televisión's La Noticia news program, with the aim of understanding how its news coverage adopts strategies associated with entertainment. The study uses a qualitative approach and a content analysis matrix applied to broadcasts aired between June and September 2025, which allowed for the identification of narrative, visual, and audio patterns that intensify the dramatization of violent events. The results show arecurring use of tense music, sound effects, close-ups, and explicit images that seek to generate an emotional impact on the audience. Likewise, subjective language is observed on the part of the presenters, characterized by evaluative comments, exaggerated gestures, and moments of performative indignation that displace journalistic impartiality. These practices contribute to constructing a representation of violence as an audiovisual product intended for daily consumption, reinforcing the perception of insecurity and normalizing the exposure of human pain. The analysis also reveals a tendency toward revictimization, as the news shows sensitive scenes without filters or protection criteria, affecting the dignity and privacy of those affected. Taken together, the findings confirm that the crime news coverage of the media outlet studied responds to market logic where sensationalism takes precedence over journalistic responsibility. The study points to the need to reflect on the ethical limits of television journalism and its influence on the social construction of violence in the Ecuadorian context. These findings provide a solid basis for understanding the relationship between the media, the audience, and violence in the current Ecuadorian communications landscape.
