Description
Problem statement
The
problem to be addressed in this study [RD1] is
the inequality of sports journalism that occurs even in the face [RD2] of
the legislation of Title IX. Notably[RD3] ,
the world of sports journalism is male-dominated and hence[RD4]
has not caught up with what the law requires [RD5] of
them in regard to equality in coverage of women’s sports. The coverage of women’s
sports is not at par[RD6]
with that of men as it is evident that their coverage lags behind and no
specific focus is put on it (Druckman et al, 2018). Clearly[RD7] ,
it is evident that the media puts the limelight on male athletes and tends to
ignore female athletes and their exploits. As such, female athletes are not
exposed and their exploits remain unheard of, yet Title IX was enacted to bring
equality in sports.
Markedly,
the coverage of women’s sports puts focus on their sexuality and femininity
other than what they have achieved in the field or court. Male athletes tend to
be framed as heroic masculine ideals who honor endurance, courage, and
strength, while female athletes are depicted in traditional roles that are
based on their femininity, mostly as sex objects, wives, or mothers (Roessner
& Whiteside, 2016). This shows the existing inequality when it comes to
sports journalism, yet Title IX was enacted for the purpose of granting women
equal playing time. As such, this has to be put into consideration so that the
women acquire equal coverage and that their exploits are highlighted just as
those of men are often highlighted.
[RD2]Be sure to adhere to an academic tone in your writing.
Avoid using jargon, informal/casual language, idiomatic expressions, or clichés
in formal writing.
•Avoid making
broad generalizations (i.e., always, never).
•Avoid using
over-sweeping adjectives (outstanding, obvious).
•Avoid using
adverbs (really, clearly).
•Avoid qualifiers
or inexact language (a little, definitely).
Approximations of quantity (e.g., quite a large part, practically all,
beautiful, or very few) are interpreted differently by different readers or in
different contexts. Approximations
weaken statements.
•Avoid emotional
language (It is heartbreaking that so many are starving).
•Avoid
inflammatory language (Smith’s study was terrible, sickening, sad).
