“…She explained: 'They wrote articles about the WNBA because their editors wanted them to practice their skills in order to make the "jump" to men's professional sports' (Baker, 2008: 151). This is a testimony to the idea that media put more time and effort into building excitement for men's sports than they do for women's sports, a common finding in scholarly studies, regardless of media platform (Black and Fielding-Lloyd, 2017;Coche, 2016;Cooky et al, 2015;Dziubinski et al, 2013;Kian et al, 2009;Meân, 2010;O'Neill and Mulready, 2015) despite recent improvements (Cooky et al, 2015;Petty and Pope, 2019;Pfister, 2015).…”

“…Scholars unanimously agree that women are vastly under-represented in sports media, when it comes to personnel hired behind the scenes -to produce sport media content (Antunovic, 2018;Baker, 2008;Mudrick et al, 2017), and in the content itself (Calvo Ortega, 2014;Coche, 2015;Cooky et al, 2015;Dziubinski et al, 2013;Godoy-Pressland and Griggs, 2014;Kaiser, 2018;O'Neill and Mulready, 2015).…”

But the 2019 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Women's World Cup (WWC) was particularly prominent in the media compared to past tournaments.…”

This study is a content analysis of Eurosport’s football coverage on its French, English, German and Spanish websites during the 2019 Women’s World Cup. It examines the place given to women’s football by leading sports news websites in Europe and explores cultural differences across those four countries while limiting corporate differences (as all four websites belong to the same company). Analysis found the women’s game represented up to 20% of coverage on two websites, much more than the usual 5% or less usually dedicated to women’s sports, but the tournament still took a back seat to offseason men’s club football. The production value also showed some sex differences with Eurosport’s staff resources seemingly more directed toward coverage of the men’s game – despite the Women’s World Cup being the only Europe-based senior tournament played by European nations during the study. Differences in coverage among the four countries studied suggest Spain is embracing women’s football more than its neighbours, and the vast colonial histories of France, Spain and the UK, and the international relations they shaped, are profoundly affecting the sex gap in football coverage.
