“Television everything it touches turns it into dramatic content. It is a story more of action than of reflection; he proposes movements in the stories. The dense description and the argument reflection are not the strong television. Moving action requires conflict as the engine of that journey. The television narrative will always seek conflict in order to generate drama, emotion and action, from the soap opera, the talk show to the Holy Mass” (Omar Rincón, 2006, p. 181).

Omar Rincón's words synthesize much of the narrative state of television, and can be perfectly applied to television information. From the already known forms of spectacularization, to the inclusion of narrative forms such as fictionalization and dramatization, the news seeks, fundamentally, a production of images that support meaning, and that document and that also generate an impact on the informative treatment. Studies of television information carried out by the Public Defender of Argentina show a clear superiority of police news in the perspectives of the treatment of information.

This work deals with the treatment of violence in the Argentine television news.
