Despite being an attractive medium of information, used by journalists to express, disseminate and contrast their own opinion with those from other perspectives, reporters are limited in the content they can diffuse [10,11,12].…”

The presence of sport in the media has grown exponentially over the last few decades. As a result, the influence of the media on the concept of physical activity within society and the collective and individual values it purports is indisputable. The mass media tends to follow a specific pattern when representing sport, this includes broadcasting of sport competitions and presentation of elite athletes as contemporary legends. A broad range of teaching and research opportunities are available in the field of media education. For this reason, we conducted a systematic review of international studies (Web of Science and Scopus) published between 2007 and 2018, focusing on the effects and influence of sports content on the audience. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement provided a framework for the analysis of included papers. The study incorporated an initial sample of 313 research articles that discussed the importance of emotional factors with regards to perceptual processes. Furthermore, links with various behavioral indicators were identified, such as competitiveness, violence, self-improvement linked to effort, stereotypes of beauty and health care.

“…Previous research reported an influence of gender-related attitudes of participants on byline biases (e.g., gender-role stereotyping and sexism) (Mudrick et al, 2017). In our study, we employed RWA as a more general measurement to assess respondents’ attitudes towards traditional values.…”

“…Studies further found that male sports journalists were rated as more competent (Ordman and Zillmann, 1994) and credible (Luisi et al, 2020; Mudrick et al, 2017) compared to female journalists. We therefore make the following hypothesis:…”

“…Besides the fact that female sports are less likely to be the subject of media sports coverage, two aspects are especially interesting when examining gender equality in sports reporting: (1) the visibility of female journalists, which suggests that women are underrepresented as authors in sports coverage and (2) audiences’ perceptions of female journalists, which imply a potential byline bias against sports coverage authored by women. Even though findings regarding gender byline biases are inconsistent, studies have pointed to perceptual disadvantages women face in sports journalism, particularly when it comes to credibility (Mudrick et al, 2017).…”

“…Adopting a similar study design, Mudrick et al (2017) used a posttest-only, quasi-experimental design in which participants watched a video of a basketball debate between a male and female sportscaster. Their findings indicated that participants who endorsed gender-role stereotypes and sexist attitudes rated the female sportscaster as less credible compared to her male counterpart.…”

Gender byline bias in sports reporting: Examining the visibility and audience perception of male and female journalists in sports coverage

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Gender-based marginalization and discrimination in sports journalism is an ongoing concern of research addressing gender equality in journalism. The visibility of female reporters as authors in terms of sports coverage has been found to be under 10% in content analysis that spans several countries. Research into audiences’ perceptions of authorship in sports journalism further found female authors to be prone to byline biases—even though findings are mixed. In this article, we set out to examine if the under representation of female sport authors has changed over the time span of 15 years. This is explored by conducting a content analysis of news coverage from 2006 to 2020 (Study 1). Further, we study whether biases against female authors in sports coverage (still) exist among recipients and in how far this is different for male and female sports. To address audience perceptions of gender in sport reporting, we performed an online experiment investigating the effect of female and male authorship as well as men’s and women’s football (soccer) as one of the most popular topic of sport reporting (Study 2). We found that female authorship in sports journalism is still marginalized without any significant improvement observed from 2006 to 2020 (Study 1). This contrasts with our findings on audiences’ perceptions of male and female authors, which did not confirm a gender byline bias (Study 2). Our results therefore suggest that gender discrimination in newsrooms cannot be justified by audience perceptions.
