En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the intersection of sport, gender, media, and law, this book examines court reporting on sexual crimes involving Australian footballers. It reveals how rape myths and stereotypes are perpetuated in media coverage through an analysis of newspaper reports, trial transcripts, and journalist interviews. The author explores the structural dynamics in newsrooms and the judiciary's influence on reporting practices. By critically addressing journalism concepts like objectivity, the book advocates for an ethical approach to court reporting that safeguards complainants and enhances public comprehension of sexual violence.
