- Gender and news coverage of the Olympics

- Abstract
- The Olympics are again upon us, and Australia has some excellent and prominent women athletes. Stephanie Rice, Sally Pearson and Anna Meares, for example, are all at the top of their game and likely to do well. I wonder, though, if women's Olympic sport will receive a similar amount of news coverage as men's. I wonder this because very little sports news is ever about women's sport.
