“…When their male counterparts lose, however, they receive a similar amount of coverage as compared to when they win (Mandujano-Salazar, 2016). Another Japan article found sportswomen have comparatively equal coverage with their male counterparts during the Olympics, but this may result from considerations of the Olympics as an international event – as discussed in the next subsection (Thompson, 2013).…”

It has been widely recognized that women in Western countries are marginalized in the sports field, and sports media is one of the institutions that strengthens such trivialization. However, there are very few studies investigating women in sports in countries outside of Europe and the USA. The aim of this study is to review how sportswomen are portrayed in sports media in China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea. East Asian media is congruous in its disparities regarding quantity of coverage between domestic athletes and abroad athletes, between sportsmen and sportswomen, and between international events and local events. Narratives and commentary focus on nationalism, appropriate femininity, non-sports related aspects of sportswomen’s lives, and the dual identities of sportswomen. Some slight differences regarding quantity, narratives and commentary exist between the four countries. In its current state, scholarly research on media images of sportswomen is contradictory and too limited. Overall, more studies regarding how sportswomen are represented in East Asian media are needed, with further considerations of social media and media autonomy while making essential connections to social and cultural contexts.

“…Later studies examining nationality in Olympic newspaper coverage have explored possibly biased and certainly favorable reporting about “home” athletes (Bijie & Billings, 2015; Darnell & Sparks, 2005) which may result in inadvertent or intentional nationalism (Billig, 1995; Jiang, 2013). Many scholars have then examined Olympic newspaper coverage of identity traits including gender (e.g., Capranica, 2005; Delorme, 2014; Duncan, 1990; King, 2007; Lee, 1992; Urquhart & Crossman, 1999; Vincent, Imwold, Masemann, & Johnson, 2002), ethnicity (Hardin, Dodd, Chance, & Walsdorf, 2004), and ability (Thompson, 2013) from both quantitative and qualitative standpoints. It is thus clear that newspaper coverage of the Olympic Games transcends the domain of athletics and involves broader political and social considerations (Min & Zhen, 2010).…”

This study examines international newspaper coverage of the 2013 European Basketball Championship for men. Generalist broadsheet newspapers in 13 countries on five continents were examined over the course of 1 year (from August 2012 until September 2013) to understand the amount and content of coverage dedicated to this major event. Results show that the host country, Slovenia, dedicated the most extensive coverage to the EuroBasket, followed by Croatia, a neighboring country. Media interest in other countries was very limited and focused almost exclusively on competitive aspects of the tournament (as opposed to organizational, tourist, or cultural angles). Of the newspapers examined, only five covered the event in the months leading up to it and only four reported the final outcome of the tournament. Generalist broadsheets thus displayed limited interest in the competition, contradicting organizers’ assertions and popular belief of widespread promotional and economic benefits deriving from the event. Newspapers from countries that fielded teams at the event overwhelmingly focused on their performances. As setters of the public agenda, mainstream broadsheets exhibit very limited interest in the myriad major sports events organized worldwide. Hosting such events are not by default the promotional and economic boon organizers argue and the public believes.
