(on the example of Palitra-TV, "Rustavi 2", TV "Imedi") introduction and literature review Zhana Asanidze Annotation Violence against women refers to any act of gender-based violence that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women. This type of violence can take many forms, but is not limited to domestic violence, sexual violence, rape, human trafficking, genital mutilation, and forced prostitution. It is a widespread and deep-rooted problem that affects women of all ages, backgrounds and social status all over the world. Correct coverage of this issue will ensure victim protection and prevention, which will reduce such increased statistics. Accurate definitions and the right reporting system help society hold criminals more accountable, "neutralize" them, which will lead to less violence in the future. Proper reporting informs the public about the causes of such violence, risk factors and mechanisms of impact on the perpetrator, thereby contributing not only to prevention efforts, but also to social change. The right coverage allows survivors to talk about their experiences, break the silence and advocate for change. They also became "helpers" of people who still do not have information on how to escape from violence, how to act in case of need. Overall, proper coverage of violence against women is essential to address this widespread human rights violation, promote gender equality, and create a safe environment for all individuals. Ignoring ethical standards in reporting on violence can have significant consequences for both individuals and society as a whole. If the media disseminates incomplete information or misinformation without ethical guidelines, it can cause public confusion, mistrust of the media, violate the presumption of innocence, and introduce stigmas. These practices may also violate privacy laws, and sensationalist coverage may cause emotional distress, reputational damage, and even physical harm. The purpose of this research paper is to reveal the dynamics of coverage of violence issues by the media, to show the trends of media transformation in this regard, and to develop such principles of coverage that will not encourage a certain part of society, increase the statistics of violence, will not aggravate the situation of the victims' family members, will not create a new stigma and will not make the broadcasts Misplaced emphasis so as not to inadvertently encourage crime.The subject of this research paper is to develop the principles of media coverage that does not encourage a certain part of the society, increase the statistics of violence, does not aggravate the situation of the victims' family members, does not create a kind of stigma and does not make wrong accents in programs, does not unintentionally encourage crime.
