To do so, this study focused on analyze a six-month period of coverage developed by the portals – march to august 2018 – and perform semi-structured interviews with editors and journalists from the previously mentioned newsrooms and the women’s police department chiefs from both cities. The methodologic support of this research uses the content analysis bibliography, proposed by Bardin (1977), to organize in categories 177 news collected in the selected period. The theoretical concept that basis the analysis over the journalistic material and the interviews have its origins in the journalistic field and the gender studies. The gender perspective adopted in this work is cultural and, in the journalistic scope, concepts as framing, newsmaking and newsworthiness are resorts. Some of the main aspects noticed on the coverages of the portals are: 1) the Military Police appears as the major news source when the subject is violence against women and, in this position, it becomes the primary definer of the theme; 2) the newsworthiness criterion of the coverage are centered in a macro drama tragedy level and in a micro violence/crime level, death risk/death, and catastrophe; 3) the news framing puts the theme as a police matter, with emphases in a episodic approach of the events.
