    Media and gender Gender balance across sports media coverage in Aotearoa New Zealand JULY 2019—DECEMBER 2020 APRIL 2021 MEDIA AND GENDER The purpose of this study is to add to the body of evidence based on which we and others can advocate for greater value and visibility of women in sport. 2 ISENTIA / SPORT NEW ZEALAND MEDIA AND GENDER Foreword Sport is a huge part of our national identity and how we showcase New Zealand to the world. Many of our top athletes are women, but females are under-represented in sports coverage and sports reporting. This needs to change if sport’s role in our national identity is to truly reflect who we are. This report is a step in that direction. It’s about creating a benchmark, shining a light on what’s good and what’s not, and starting a conversation to create positive change. Media, sports and others are already part of that conversation. Others will follow. Everyone is invited. This study represents Commitment 23 of Sport New Zealand’s (Sport NZ’s) response to the Government’s Strategy for Women and Girls in Sport and Active Recreation, and forms part of the work we are doing to improve the value and visibility of women in sport. The study finds that women’s sport accounts for 15% of all sports coverage. That’s better than the findings of previous New Zealand studies and others conducted around the world. It’s also not good enough. 3 ISENTIA / SPORT NEW ZEALAND MEDIA AND GENDER With New Zealand set to host three women’s world cups from 2021 to 2023, we have an opportunity to showcase and celebrate women’s This study sport.

  • Volleyball Shows Huge Growth in Popularity Among Young New Zealanders
    Volleyball shows huge growth in popularity among young New Zealanders. The popularity of volleyball is booming among secondary school students, with playing numbers growing exponentially over the past year. Volleyball is now the 4th most popular sport in the country, with the latest School Sport NZ Census data showing more than 22,000 young people are playing at secondary school level. It represents a massive 26% growth in playing numbers and bucks the trend of many traditional team sports which were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and saw a drop in participation. The numbers show that, when given the opportunity, students are keen to take up the dynamic game. Volleyball New Zealand Chief Executive Toni-Maree Carnie is thrilled with the increase in participation numbers and believes the ultimate “team nature” of volleyball, where each player is always in action, is an important factor in its popularity. “As we know access and visibility of the sport remain barriers to more young people participating,” she says. “We continue to work hard to ensure there are more opportunities for those young people still wanting to participate in volleyball to be able to play. Girls continue to flock to volleyball with the sport now having the second highest participation rate among young women. 14,081 girls are playing at secondary school, making it second only to netball in terms of popularity. “Young women are coming to the sport in droves,’ says Toni-Maree Carnie. “We know they love having fun, playing with their friends and being in an environment that is not weather dependent.” Outside of the combined wider Auckland region, Canterbury has the highest participation rate, while volleyball is also proving popular in Wellington, Bay of Plenty, Otago and Manawatu.
