Journalism and the Various Acts of Violence It Faces: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Violence within journalism today has created difficulties in exercising the profession since their rights and physical integrity have been violated. That is why we seek to answer the following research question: What is known about journalism and the various acts of violence it faces documented in the Scopus base during the last five years? Likewise, the Scopus database was used to search for information, in which it was possible to collect 12 scientific articles in the Spanish language. For the present research, the systematic review of the scientific literature has been carried out under the PRISMA method. The research went through several limitations, among them that the information exceeded 10 years of research. On the other hand, potential areas of research were considered to be to seek and document more experiences in the field of journalism through qualitative research. That said, it was concluded that the articles studied indicate that journalism has suffered violence in the Latin American region, in the country of Mexico, Spain and Algeria during the last five years according to the investigations carried out between the years 2017–2022.
