The rise of social media in recent years has led the media to migrate to platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tiktok, etc., and to adapt their journalistic content to each social network. Undoubtedly, such adaptation occurred in a context of economic crisis and a decreasing credibility of the journalistic profession. In this sense, the serious work of journalism has also given way to bad practices that affect the spread of false news and the use of questionable strategies. One of them is clickbait, a technique that serves as a bait for Internet users and arouses their curiosity through exaggerated headlines, with question marks or symbols, as well as incomplete and often false information. All with the aim of getting the reader interested in the subject and to enter the link. Precisely, this research investigates how clickbait serves to promote misogynist comments in digital journalistic spaces. In that sense, this thesis will study the web news of La República betweenMay and August 2020 related to the peruvian actressMayra Couto, who has constantly been the victim of misogynist comments and has been in the news for her statements. For this purpose, three techniques were used: the critical discourse analysis of Van Leeuwen (1996), in order to analyze the representation of Mayra Couto's image; the content analysis of García et al. (2019), to identify the typology of clickbait; and in-depth interviews, in which five editors from the Espectáculos section of 2020 took part. The purpose of these interviews is to know the process of construction of a news item from within the Espectáculos newsroom of La República in 2020. Among the main results, it is concluded that Mayra Couto is a character that generates a lot of traffic in social media and on the web, that is why news about her are produced, in great quantity, and to make the note more attractive, various types of clickbait are used. Finally, the editorial approach encourages Mayra to be criticized and exposed to harassment and cybermisogyny.
