Research and Application 

I used this article to provide context for the zine’s ‘Daily Mail’ article being edited. Comments under the Daily Mail article underestimate the significance of Millie Bright, and The Daily Mail is not helping with highlighting her impact in sport. A quote from The Guardian will be used to expand on the explanation of her importance. According to Guardian, Wiegman said it is “hard to put into words the impact she has had”, adding: “Winning Euro 2022 and captaining England to

This article explains the reasoning behind the new football stadium being built in Brighton for the women's team. I will use this explanation to edit the article that will be used in the zine (see project stage #9). As the article in the zine does not explain the reason for a build, it is necessary to expand on it. Especially with the amount of negative comments following the article, as people assumed the only difference was more breastfeeding spaces, because The Daily Mail

This article emphesises the missconception that happens when someone looks up most international goals scored, Google shows only men's statistics, missing out the actual record holders. These statistics are very helpful and are applied in the article on this topic. (See project stage #9, Most football goals scored on international arena).

The articel emphesizes the inequality of funding and support that women's and men's teams get in the same league. It describes a situation during the COVID-19 lockdown, when the teams were moved to separate facilities that were not achieving the same standard. It was explained by the lack of space. However, the men's team was prioritised. Another evnt that is brought us is when a men's team that haven't won a championship in years got their whole facility renovated. But the s

Almost two-thirds of elite British female athletes have experienced sexism in sport, but the vast majority did not feel able to report it. In the BBC Elite British Sportswomen's survey, 65% of respondents had suffered sexism, but only 10% reported it. The figures have worsened over the past five years since the last survey was carried out. In 2015, 41% had suffered sexism, with 7% reporting it. This survey is showing the gender paygap in sports, as well as the gap in respect

The World Players Association provided insightful statistics for my research. Overwhelming numbers referring to abuse of athletes of all ages prove that new regulations (for example, the UNESCO & UN Women handbook) are required for the safety of these athletes. The stories that the research participants have told were heartbreaking and highlighted the imbalance of gender amongst the coaches and the management, leading to athletes not being able to speak up, feeling threatened

I stumbled upon this book in the university library and thought it would be perfect for researching sexism in the journalism field. It had a sports journalism section which described reinforced stereotypes and abuses women faced in the field, especially in a field that is perceived as masculine, such as sports. The main flaws have been known to me from other readings I did. However, there were some insights that I read in this book for the first time. For example, how men use

This text was discovered while writing the interim report. As the title says, it is a methodology for analysing eveluative language in journalism, which perfectly fits the premis of the project. Monica Bednarek highlighted 12 evaluative parameters, and I have used them while choosing and analysing articles to use in the zine. This methodology is very useful, as I learned how to differentiate and quickly define evaluative language within the articles. It was used at the beginn

This handbook is addressed primarily to policymakers and sports practitioners, as well as sports journalists and civil society organisations who want to do more to ensure that women and girls across all social groups can practice sports safely. " Many of the root causes of violence against women and girls in sport directly reflect the causes of gender-based violence in our societies at large: gender inequality, discrimination and harmful socio-cultural norms." The handbook pr
