Media discourse participates in the persistence of status in terms of gender. It produces and reproduces cyber violence. The biopolitical devices of
digitization exercise discipline through complex and dispersed mechanisms. It not only emanates directly from them, but scales, drifts, and sustains itself
on the physical-virtual continuum. The media generate ideology through the spectacularization of the news message, especially in events linked to sexist
violence. Gender disinformation is profitable. But the press has the ability to influence to modify a regulatory system that does not take into account
gender, class, or racialization. The influence of feminist theory in recent years also within newsrooms and measures such as the establishment of gender editors, an expert figure who has not yet penetrated the galician media, creates a window of opportunity for change.
