Without a doubt, these are two worldwide tragedies, which are have had different media coverage, generating a great amount of content in the case of the Ukrainian conflict and, on the other hand, a scarce amount of it un the case of Yemeni one. For this reason, and to make a comparison between both that would help understanding and/or value some factors that influence this double standard, a categorical analysis has been elaborated, using a quantitative and qualitative approach in which different articles extracted from a media corporations, like El País journal and from a more independent online media, like Eldiario.es have been examined.
