Abstract
Violence against women in India is a continuing social phenomenon. The gang rape of a physiotherapy student in Delhi brought platforms/people on a platform to voice their opinion about security of women in our society. The Indian mainstream media did not disclose the identity of the victim to the possible extent and the entire nation stood in solidarity with the victim's family. Over the years, there has been an increasing number of such cases of violence against women reported by the press, still if it is to be asked if they received the same standards of ethical concerns in press coverage, then the answer is a big no. Browsing over the archives one could see the difference in reporting, cases of violence against women being more biased and gender insensitive when compared with the Delhi incident. This paper tries to see the differences in reporting similar cases of violence against women that occurred during the Delhi case and how these cases were reported even during that same time.
