The under-representation of sportswomen in all forms of media, together with the underrepresentation of women involved in the production of sport-related media, has long been of concern to those trying to increase the visibility of women’s sport.
"We are campaigning across the media to see women's sport given the respect and coverage that it deserves. There are a number of ways in which you can help achieve this."
"You can, for example, write to or email editors and those in charge of the media."
"Whether it is national television or your local radio station, the people who control the media and make decisions about programme content listen to the feedback they receive from their viewers, listeners or readers. At the moment the most vocal consumers of sports coverage are those who want more of the same - that is, more professional football, more (men's) professional rugby and cricket. If we are to achieve a more balanced approach, we have to make our voices heard." WSF UK
