As I’m a
journalism student, obviously I’m going to talk about journalism. But particularly
I want to talk about sports journalism in Chile and the problem of approach
that I think the media have.
In effect I
believe that in Chile there is a problem because most media only talk about
football in the sports section and the other sports are forgotten.
It seems that
sports like handball, golf, volleyball or rugby don’t exist. But I’m sure that
theses sports were shown in the media, people would see them. But the problem
is that we are always shown the same.
Also this
focus in football is only for men. If we make the exercise of to watch TV or to
read the newspapers we can see that in general women are ignored. But fortunately
in the last time the Chilean national women's team has appeared in
the media, but I reiterate that only in football.
In the
future, if I have the possibility of being a media editor, I would like to give
emphasis to other sports and that women have more prominence.
I think that other sports are indeed very important and I would love to see more variety in sports on tv.
ResponderEliminarIt's a shame that only football gets the highlight :<

ResponderEliminarI'm not really interested on sports, but the coverage of other sports is quite poor in the Chilean media, that's a fact...
Agreed. I love football but it shouldn't be the only focus.
