“…Research analyzing the relationship between human rights NGOs and the media shares a definition of the media "as key gatekeepers that decide, according to established news norms, which of the seemingly endless human rights issues can occupy a part of the news agenda" (Powers 2016;López 2020, p. 316). In other words, this research shows that the media are not only strategic allies of NGOs, but also become active mediators with the capacity to enable human rights complaints to circulate and resonate (López 2020).…”

“…According to López (2020), this mediation is analyzed from different perspectives: firstly, those who study how actors construct "the credibility" of the information and drama they report, favoring "conflict and spectacle" (Fenton 2010;Powers 2016;Waisbord 2011). A second perspective is from those who use the development of strategies of "narrative and reportage of pain" (Dogra 2014;Orgad 2013).…”

“…However, as a result of the progressive professionalization of TSSA, the organizational identity of NGOs and their management of intangibles imply relationships with the media that are far from those mentioned by López (2020) that are directly linked to the purpose of TSSA organizations.…”

This research seeks to find out to what extent the Spanish press reflects the role played by the Red Cross during the first 100 days of the war in Ukraine. It aims to identify the main characteristics of the information in which the organization has taken a leading role in the press. The theoretical framework includes a literature review on the strategic relationship between the press and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for the benefit of their reputation, as well as the role of the Red Cross in armed conflicts, and the link between the third sector and geopolitics. In order to examine how different media treated the Red Cross as the protagonist of the news, articles published in the written press that included “Red Cross” as keywords in the headline were selected through the Onclusive platform (formerly Kantar Media). The period of analysis covered the first 100 days of war in Ukraine, from 24 February to 3 June 2022. The methodology used was developed in two phases: the first based on content analysis, and the second focused on the description and interpretation of the informative development of the sample. The results reveal that the role of the Red Cross in the conflict is not the focus of media attention and that its name has become a lure for political communication, for social events or for the publicity of the more traditional corporate social responsibility (CSR) of companies. We can say that the relationship between the Red Cross and the written press has not contributed to explaining or clearly expressing the institution’s task or mission in a war. This is why it can be deduced that the articles analyzed do not improve the brand value and its positioning among readers.
