Marina Abiuso, journalist and gender editor of the channel TNdenounced suffering harassment in her networks that led her to close her Twitter account, upon receiving criticism for the difference between the coverage of the case of Lucio Dupuy and the one of Fernando Baez Sosa on the channel where he works.
It is that, according to the criticism it received, on said channel there was much greater coverage for the crime perpetrated by the group of rugby players, and they assure that the treatment of the Dupuy case was not the same because the defendants are women.
“I have not read anyone defending the murderers of Lucio Dupuy, certainly I have not defended them. Neither by women, nor by feminists, nor by lesbians. And yet many published the opposite and created false news that I will probably never finish denying,” Abiuso explained in a note published in TN.
“I don’t want to talk about myself. I do want to take advantage of this interest in Lucio’s case to focus on the absolute lack of protection experienced by childhoods who are not lucky enough to be in loving families,” he added in the note, in which he made a Review of the crime of the pampean child.
And he added: “There is a problem: feminism is not a vertical movement, there is no single authorized voice. There are currents, internal divisions, deep differences. In fact, plural ‘feminisms’ have been talked about for a long time to try to contain them all “.
“Those detractors can go and serve themselves like a buffet: they will always find some self-proclaimed feminist who says what they want to repudiate. And if not, they invent it,” he said.
Many media colleagues came out to defend the journalist by explaining that from her position, she is not the one who decides how much coverage time is devoted to each case.

In addition, many argued that the Báez Sosa case is pending trial and has much more “televisable material” than Dupuy’s.
For example, the case of Maria O’Donnellthat in his radio program Urbana said: “Solidarity with Marina Abiuso, a colleague of TN and of the Clarin Group that she is being hyper-attacked in an absurd way because she is a genre editor for TN”.
And he added: “She is the person who looks sensitively at gender issues, but she has nothing to do with the number of minutes that the channel dedicates to the case of Lucio Dupuy compared to that of Fernando Báez Sosa. They accuse her of the coverage is less because there is a couple of lesbian women involved, a crazy logic”.
Journalist and Public Defender Mirian Lewin explained that “the role of gender editors is essential for the media to be more democratic and their content more egalitarian” and that “Therefore, they are exposed to attacks and false accusations, and they need support in those situations.”

Another Abiuso colleague, Ángeles Alemandi, posted on Facebook that the TN journalist “is being horribly attacked, tremendously harassed because, they say, she is responsible for the little coverage of the Lucio Dupuy case.”
“My friend is the gender editor of TN and before that she is a beautiful, upright, committed woman, a professional with her own convictions and human gestures that she guards against sharing on the networks,” added the journalist.
On the other hand, many voices were raised against Abiuso on social networks, including that of Homemade Alfredoand denounced an alleged drop in the line in the news signals with the aim of avoiding going deeper into the murder of Lucio, which was the work of his mother, Magdalena Esposito Valienteand the couple of this, Abigail Peacewho supposedly had been subjecting the boy to different types of abuse for at least two years.
