Fuerzas Armadas y medios de comunicación: la mujer como elemento modernizador

An efficient relationship between the Armed Forces, the media and the public opinion is crucial for an effective elaboration of security and defense policies. Despite there are available multiple researches about media and national defense, studies focused on the Armed Forces are practically non existent in Spain. The present research tries to deepen in the media frames used by the Spanish press when dealing with the armed forces. From a comparative analysis of two periods of time, this paper brings new data to this academic field about the treatment of women in the Armed Forces as a modernizing element.
