  • Sport Is King : an Investigation of the Coverage of Female Sports in The
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Nottingham Trent Institutional Repository (IRep) Sport is king1: An investigation into local media coverage of women’s sport in the UK East Midlands Abstract : There has been a recent interest in research into national media coverage of female sport, particularly single events, but on-going sporting activities by women are rarely reported. This paper attempts to examine this subject at the local level, looking in general at women’s sport and in particular at women’s football in the East Midlands region of the UK. Quantitative methods were used to survey local newspapers and radio stations and interviews were carried out with a range of people relevant to the field of study. The topic of sports media is framed here with reference to research into masculinities and a socialist feminist approach is used to address problems. The data showed there was a significant and on-going imbalance in the amount of coverage and even some signs of a decline in women’s football reporting, in spite of a national resurgence of the sport itself. The authors try to account for this and suggest further areas of future study. Key words : women, sport, football, media, coverage, gender. Introduction The London 2012 Olympics were hailed by commentators as the ‘women’s games’ (Brown 2012) when gender parity in events and media coverage seemed nearer than ever before. Before the roar of the crowds began to fade in the memory, pundits asked whether or how the bonanza of reporting for so-called minority sports could be sustained.

  • The “Recruiting Muddle”: Married Men, Conscription and Masculinity in First World War England’
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article accepted for publication by Taylor & Francis in First World War Studies on 3 September 2018. Published on-line 1 October 2018 Laura Ugolini, University of Wolverhampton ‘The “recruiting muddle”: married men, conscription and masculinity in First World War England’ Abstract Interviewed many decades after the end of the First World War, Mary Morton recalled vividly how her mother’s family had made no secret of their contempt for her father’s conduct during the conflict: he was – they thought – a ‘bounder’. Tellingly, they condemned not his continued civilian status, but the fact that he had volunteered, despite his responsibilities as husband and father. Historians have long recognised the powerful pull of military masculinities during the First World War, as well as the denigration of civilian men and masculinities: this article suggests that the wartime experiences of married men like Mary Morton’s father complicate this picture of hegemonic and subordinate masculinities. They, it was widely agreed in the early years of the conflict, had responsibilities that tied them to the home front; it was unmarried men’s duty to ‘go first’. In May 1916, however, the pressing need for military manpower led to the introduction of conscription for all men, without reference to marital status. This article explores the underlying shift in understandings of manly conduct in wartime, from a belief that married men had responsibilities that kept them from enlisting, to a new emphasis on the equality of duty among all physically fit men of military age, irrespective of domestic responsibilities.
