The objective of this article is to determine if women and men participate in a balanced way in the contents offered by the media to the audience. The analysis of the data shows that neither the voices collected in the news nor their positions within them reach parity. Women are generally relegated to scarcely relevant places and, in local news, they often disappear altogether in the course towards the final piece of news. This article presents the results of a case study conducted on the media of Granada for which 1,586 news reports and 187 agenda press calls were evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper attempts to offer an overall view of the state of research in the field of local television in Spain, which is in the middle of the digital transition. It also suggests the main areas that should make up the research agenda in this field, taking the form of five spheres of reflection: the structure of the local television sector; communication policies; local television content and services in the context of digitalization; reception and the audience for local digital television; and political communication in the context of television digitalization.
