This article argues for an intersectional framework to improve media coverage of intimate partner femicide, suggesting systemic changes.
News media have an important role in shaping public knowledge about intimate partner violence (IPV) and intimate partner femicide (IPF). This article (a) argues for intersectional feminist work to operationalize the social ecological model for media research and advocacy surrounding IPF reporting and (b) outlines an example of such a coding framework for analyzing IPF media coverage. This framework provides a tangible illustration of what balanced reporting on IPF could look like and highlights the need to decrease news reliance on individual- and relationship-level explanations and increase community- and societal-level explanations from an intersectional feminist, violence prevention standpoint.
