- Presentation of sex work in two Costa Rican newspapers: a multivariate analysis of the roles of patriarchal prejudice and reporter gender Julián Monge-Nájera Karla Vega Corrales María Isabel González Lutz Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) discrimination of minorities lack of objectivity in reporting Influence of mass media on public opinion Traditionally, patriarchal societies have repressed women who practice sex work. Today, that repression continues through mass media. In this article we analyze the treatment given to sex worker coverage in the two printed newspaper with the largest circulation in Costa Rica: Diario Extra and La Nación . We recorded all news mentioning sex work in both news - papers during the year 2010 and applied a logistic regression analysis to indicators. To study the association of these indicators with the newspa - per and gender of the reporter, we used contingency tables and likeli - hood ratios. The majority of the 56 reporters who wrote the news items were men and most of the news items related with sex work had a so - cial approach, followed by those with criminal and morality approaches. The articles tend to present sex workers as being outside the law (even though sex work is legal in Costa Rica) and in conflict with other social actors. Despite scientific findings that show otherwise, the media contin - ue to spread myths about frequent “exploitation” and “child prostitution”. 2014 artículo científico 1659-4266 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=515651977023 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5156 UNED Research Journal / Cuadernos de Investigación UNED application/pdf Universidad Estatal a Distancia UNED Research Journal / Cuadernos de Investigación UNED (Costa Rica) Num.2 Vol.5
