| Summary: | Media content is the result of a special filtering process. Concerning criminality, newsworthiness determines the selection of an event and the media attention. The violence of the crime, the victimization of more than one person, vulnerability, or a lack of relationship between the two protagonists are all indicators to evaluate how interesting a news story is. Some of these elements are often used by journalists to cover events related to street gangs. However, very few studies have been made on the media's interest about gangs and their effect on news treatment. In total, 417 reports from Radio-Canada's TV channel and website content have compared the media treatment of 210 reports about street gangs with 207 reports on general crime. The results suggest that reports about street gangs have greater media coverage, especially in length and details. Independent of the elements that determine what makes good news, those involving gangs make interesting stories. |
