According to the article`s abstract: 
"The journalistic state of emergency that occurs during a health crisis is characterised by a substantial increase in the number of news items and a heightened risk of incurring in journalistic dysfunctions. These may vary between different sections of a newspaper. This study has examined 124 front pages and 151 editorials from El País, La Vanguardia, El Mundo and El Periódico published between 17/04/2020 and 17/05/2020 by applying inductive content analysis. 26% of the front pages contained journalistic dysfunctions of at least one of the 8 subtypes described. However, these were only found in 14% of the editorials, mostly being linguistic in nature. The editorials tended to convey a message of rigour, prudence, and calm. This seems to concur with the journalistic theorem affirming that, during a serious health crisis, the most truthful and reassuring information is to be found in editorials rather than on front pages, which are more alarmist and sensationalist. A new corollary is proposed for this theorem: journalistic dysfunctions in editorials increase in a polarised political context.Keywords:Alarmism; Covid-19; editorial; frontpage; journalistic dysfunction."
