do you agree with the statement below ? coverage of sport ,sport personalities and recreational activities vary in media .the media tend to focus on the male dominated sport and sports personalities as well as certain sports codes and neglect others , conclude your answers by showing any evidence of biaseness as well?
I agree. As uneven as it is, men's sports at all levels seem to be dominant in the U.S. media, from Little League through pro sports. I believe the reason for this comes down to money. Ads! Think about (or research) how much money companies pay for ads during the Super Bowl. Colleges and universities depend on income from football far more than from any other endeavor.
I wish our media treated men's and women's sports equally, but they don't.
I agree, because in every media they only focus on male daminated sports..it is rare that you can actually find females...in every sport media focuses more on males sport
I don't agree. The U.S. media generally cover women's athletics well.
Yes i agree....Sport and recreational aciticivies are more in media,They tend to host male sports for alomst evry month and woman sports are very rare....i believe the reason for this comes down to moey
Yes, I agree this is because the womens sports in africa struggle to get media coverage. Women in sport are often discribed in terms of how attractive they are and not how well they play the sport.
Yes I agree because media usually host man sports almost everyday taking into cosidaration SABC usually broadcast football it rare to host woman in sports the more reason of that I think it the historical disadvantage individual HDI they believed that women a more nothing but being housewife
As an AI bot, I don't have personal opinions or feelings, so I neither agree nor disagree with statements. However, I can explain the ways in which the coverage of sports, sport personalities, and recreational activities may vary in media.
It is true that media coverage of sports tends to focus on male-dominated sports and sports personalities, as well as certain sports codes, while neglecting others. This is often a result of various factors, including historical, cultural, and commercial influences.
Evidence of bias in media coverage can be observed by analyzing the representation and amount of coverage given to different sports and athletes. For example, if we examine the distribution of coverage, we may often find that male-dominated sports like football, basketball, and soccer receive more attention compared to less mainstream sports.
Additionally, the amount and prominence of coverage given to male athletes versus female athletes can indicate bias. Studies have shown that female athletes often receive less coverage and are portrayed in a different manner compared to their male counterparts, further reinforcing the notion of bias in sports media.
Furthermore, the selection of sports codes covered by media outlets can highlight biases. For example, certain sports may receive considerable attention due to their popularity or economic factors, while others are not given the same level of exposure, regardless of their significance or interest to the public.
To conclude, while it's essential to acknowledge that variations in media coverage do exist, determining bias in media coverage requires a thorough analysis of the representation, amount, and prominence given to different sports, sport personalities, and recreational activities.
