An afternoon event exploring how women's sport can be given greater media coverage.
Time:

1.30pm to 4.30pm
Location: CNOSF, Maison du Français, 1 Avenue Pierre de Coubertin, 75013 Paris, FRANCE

This conference is being organised in partnership with the French National Olympic and Sport Committee (CNOSF) with the support of the minister for French sport Henri Sérandour.

The event

The conference will unite the highest institutional decision makers to understand the problem of media coverage of female sport, make known the initiatives already in place to promote this coverage and act, by proposing future elements to reflect on.

The background

Around 37% of European women say that they play sport at least once a week. A rate very near that of men at 43%.  Yet, only 7% of sports events shown on television today concern female competitions.  Figures which challenge and illustrate the global under-representation given to female sport by the media.  If it doesn't explain all the difficulties faced by women in accessing sport, this media deficit makes a strong contribution.

It is for these reason that Sport and Citizenship created a network of European experts in 2010 to examine the question of "media coverage of female sport".  Their contributions were brought together in a collective text titled "Women, Sport and Media coverage in Europe: The Directive of Television Without Borders, for greater media coverage of women's sport" which will be distributed during the conference.

This event aims to present the results of this publication and debate the issues around media coverage of female sport.

Speakers include but are not limited to:

  • Valérie Fourneyron, minister of Sport, Youth, Education and Community Life
  • Denis Masseglia, president of the French National Olympic and Sport Committee (CNOSF)
  • Françoise Sauvageot, vice-president in charge of diversity and community life (CNOSF)
  • Edwige Avice, former minister
  • Sophie Auconie, European minister, co-president of "Friends of sport at the European Parliament"
  • Christine Kelly, member of the Superior Audiovisual Council in charge of sport issues
  • Benoît Keane, Avocat, specialist in European and media law
  • Patricia Costantini, member of the directing committee of FemixSports
  • Vincent Chaudel, vice-president of Sport and Citizenship

Conference free.  Sign up necessary.
