The thematic agenda of news broadcasts in Catalonia

This article aims to provide a view of the main events talked about by news broadcasts during a sample period. The news items have been grouped into broad themes in order to be able to determine, according to the news times allocated, which items are more present on the channels analysed. The thematic indicators of Society, Sports and Time, and the inserts from the Other group, have been chosen as barometers to evaluate whether news broadcasts tend towards the banal and tend to sensationalise news items. A description is then provided of the five news items concerning the same event that have attracted most news coverage, as well as how these evolved during the period analysed.
