Abstract: In this paper we examine the overall evolution of the coverage of women's sports by the three Portuguese daily sports newspapers (A Bola, O Jogo and Record), as well as the potential sexual objectification of female athletes. To this end, we conducted an analysis of the news and photographs published by these three daily newspapers over a period of 20 years (1996-2016), based on a random sample. A total of 2,414 news items, including 1,207 articles and 1,207 photographs, were collected from 186 different newsp… Show more

The aim of this study is to investigate the pre and post privatization financial, social and operational performance of forty two Portuguese companies in most of sectors of economic activity that experience full or partial privatization through public share offering, direct sale or public contest, for the period from 1989 to 2009. That is, this work investigates, whether or not, the privatization of sate-owned enterprises (SOE’s) had caused improvements on the economic and financial health of those privatized companies, as it is suggested by the literature of property rights, public choice and agency theory. First, we document significant improvements on profitability, operating efficiency, capital investment, real output, dividend payout, treasury applications, activity levels and capital structure. Secondly, we experience significant decreases in employment after privatization. Third, we observe that, following privatization, the financial equilibrium (short and long) of firms was negatively affected. Lastly, our results are generally robust surviving the partition of the dataset into various sub-samples.

The aim of this work is to investigate the determinants and why and how the post-privatization firm’s performance improvements occur in an application to the Portuguese case. We test the effects of some causes that may have effects on that performance behavior, based on the agency, property rights and public choice theories. We conclude that the privatization itself, the simple act of privatizing a firm, leads to performance improvements, independently of the effect of other determinants. We observe the same effect when there are favourable economic conditions, when they are in a competitive market, when companies are listed in a stock exchange after privatization, when they are privatized by an initial public offering and when companies develop restructurings before privatization.

The aim of this study has been appointed to find out the ratio of women’s sports get in Bangladeshi daily newspapers, the difference in coverage of men’s and women’s cricket, and identify the overall treatment of men’s and women’s cricket news coverage during the biggest events and explore why women’s cricket news is covered in such way. Regarding this, 44 days of news from two dailies of Bangladesh have been analyzed. Interview of cricket specialists is taken to find out why they cover men’s and women’s cricket differently. This study found out that men’s cricket is covered with great excitement and during the men’s cricket world cup, most of the sports news is related to this topic. Different segments to attract readers are also published during this time. On the other hand, women’s cricket is not covered sufficiently even during the women’s T20 world cup. Men’s cricket is prioritized at this time also. Experts said that women’s cricket is not very popular among audiences and commercial purposes are the reason behind this type of coverage of women’s cricket. But the change in this type of coverage and the steps of media can make a difference in the popularization of women’s cricket in Bangladesh.
