Spanish audiovisual media overrepresents youth but lacks diversity and precarity
A report by the Observatorio en los Medios Audiovisuales (ODA) and the Instituto de la Juventud de España (INJUVE) titled 'La representación de las juventudes en el audiovisual español' finds that young people are overrepresented in Spanish film and television, but the portrayal is 'simplified, normative, and adult-centric.' The study highlights a prevalence of sex and romance while ignoring precarity and diversity. The analysis underscores the need for more accurate and inclusive depictions to shape collective imagination positively.
