In a column published on the

World

website

this Sunday, more than 150 journalists and journalism students attack the lack of parity in sports writing.

They denounce "the inferiorization of women" and plead for them "to be better represented in the sports media".

“No more than any other area, sport belongs only to men.

We want to be in the front row to tell, to comment, to analyze, to lead, ”write the signatories of this forum.

It was initiated by a collective called Women Sports Journalists, co-founded in particular by Chrystelle Bonnet (

L'Equipe Mag

) and Laurie Delhostal (Canal +).

"The treatment of sport by men for men about men is no longer bearable"

Among the signatories, there are journalists from the written press or audiovisual media, including figures known to the general public such as Anne-Laure Bonnet (ex-

Téléfoot

and BeIn Sport) or the former athlete Maryse Ewanjé-Epée (RMC Sport).

“On television and radio - the Superior Audiovisual Council (CSA) has just revealed - the speaking time of women" in the field of sport "represents 13%: on a day devoted to sport, we listen to men talking about it for twenty-one hours, ”they argue.

“If the profession is almost parity, in sport, we are around 10% of the 3,000 journalists.

And the higher we go in the hierarchy, the more chances we have of finding the dahu rather than a woman, ”they continue.

"In 2021, the treatment of sport by men for men about men is no longer bearable", concludes the forum.
