Abstract: This article presents a series of reflections on the reception of violent television contents by children, adolescents and their parents and teachersin Ecuador. The most significant results of the qualitative and quantitative research “Dialogues to establish agreements and commitments for thereduction of violence in national television programming,” conducted by the Media Monitoring Centre Citizen Participation, in 2007, show significantdifferences between the perceptions of adults and children and adolescents: while parents see a direct causal relationship between the broadcast of some violent content and the generation of attitudes and practices of violence, children and adolescents consider that violence emerges and reproduces from and in their daily lives. In addition, they make a clear distinction between real and fictional violence, and consider the news broadcast as the spacepar excellence where violence is reproduced, with more strength than theprograms of fiction and entertainment
