Abstract

One primary mantra the lead author of this introduction has reiterated over the years is that if you wish to change how women’s sports are covered, you need to focus on the decision makers. Change the editors deciding what is newsworthy. Change the administrator who does the hiring. Build a network for change to help the voices rise more organically. We advance this special issue focusing exclusively on women academicians in sole or lead author roles to mark progress, but also to stress that the fact this is still noteworthy shows there is considerable work yet to be accomplished. When Lawrence A. Wenner published the 1989 seminal work Media, Sports and Society, on a variety of topics at the communication-sport nexus, just two of the chapters were authored by women. This was not from a lack of interest in advancing women’s voices as much as it was a lack of women working in scholarly sports spaces. By the time Wenner’s MediaSport was published almost a decade later – another compendium of contributions by leading scholars in the early days of communicationand-sport research, women were lead authors on seven of the 17 chapters in the volume. He had more options to elevate women’s voices and, quite wisely, used them, even if complete equity was not attained.

对该领域未来至关重要:女性在传播和体育领域的领导力和奖学金
这篇引言的主要作者多年来重申的一个主要口号是,如果你想改变女子体育的覆盖方式,你需要关注决策者。改变决定什么是有新闻价值的编辑。更改负责招聘的管理员。建立一个变革网络,帮助声音更有机地上升。我们推出这一特刊,专门关注担任唯一或主要作者的女院士,以纪念取得的进展,但也要强调,这一点仍然值得注意,这表明还有大量工作有待完成。1989年,劳伦斯·A·温纳出版了一本开创性的著作《媒体、体育和社会》,涉及传播与体育关系的各种主题,其中只有两章是女性撰写的。这并不是因为缺乏对提高女性声音的兴趣,而是因为缺乏在学术体育领域工作的女性。近十年后,当温纳的《媒体体育》(MediaSport)出版时——这是传播和体育研究早期领先学者的另一份贡献简编——该卷17章中有7章是女性的主要作者。他有更多的选择来提升女性的声音,并且非常明智地使用了这些声音,即使没有实现完全的公平。
