Retrieving reports of cybercrimes against women in two daily newspapers, the Times of India and the Hindu in the years 2014–2016 and taking a ratio of the same against the total number of cybercrimes in the same period reported by the National Crime Records Bureau, we have developed a simple media sensitivity index of cybercrimes against women. Considering the paucity of similar studies, this may reveal a new area of research which might also help to develop a more apt media sensitivity index, applicable to a range of crimes. Further, it may help to identify the thrust of media reports towards particular types of crimes as well as facilitate the measurement of media sensitivity to different crime genres.

检索2014 年至 2016 年《印度时报》和《印度教徒报》这两家日报上针对女性的网络犯罪报告，并采用相同的比率与国家犯罪记录局报告的同期网络犯罪总数的比率，我们制定了针对女性的网络犯罪的简单媒体敏感度指数。考虑到类似研究的缺乏，这可能会揭示一个新的研究领域，这也可能有助于开发一个更贴切的媒体敏感度指数，适用于一系列犯罪。此外，它可能有助于确定媒体报道针对特定犯罪类型的重点，并有助于衡量媒体对不同犯罪类型的敏感性。
