By any stretch of imagination, the tag of murderer cannot be extended to the complainant for the reasons stated hereafter.

Letras - Dpto. Filología Inglesa Campus de Teatinos s/n 29071 Málaga - España Email: [email protected]; Phone: +34 609941324 Received: 2014-12-31; Accepted: 2015-06-15 Abstract This study aims to prove which qualities, from the British and United States actual press, are more adequate for gender violence issues, comparing news on the same stories. It is evident the influence of mass media on public opinion and, therefore, the responsibility that written press has on gender violence messages, avoiding sensationalism. Psycholinguistic studies have established the relation language-thought, so language used in journalism is crucial. Following the belief that newspapers considered more liberal and independent will lead to a better treatment than traditional ones considered to be more reluctant to change, journals have been selected. Furthermore, different cultures can be as objective and respectful but maybe less committed with the issue, as it may arise from the samples. There have been emerging ethic codes giving guidelines to journalists, including discrimination, and more specific on gender sensitive reporting. Therefore, the objective to improve public opinion information, stepping away from stereotypes and oversimplifications, is substantial, and will undoubtedly result in a better understanding of equality.

    Blueprint to build 24 cities: Will India's biggest infra project, DMICDC, worth $100 bn deliver? About the project • DMICDC (Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation) — in its first phase will set up six cities each of 40-50 sq km and one of 153 sq km — has to be "expedited" so that it spurs manufacturing growth in the country and helps the country ride out the bad times. Once completed, the mega project is expected to generate 2.15 lakh direct jobs and 6.18 lakh indirect jobs in the country. • In its first phase, DMICDC, which falls under the industry ministry and envisages creating 24 new cities in the country by 2040, will build cities around the high-speed 1,483-km- long dedicated freight corridor (DFC), a fast-progressing railway network funded by the Japanese government. Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Map Challenges • Acquisition of land • Infrastructure: Water, power connections, drainage system, broadband network, roads Planning • Make sure that white spaces don't occur between various projects • These new cities won't just be new, they will also be SMART.
