Author: Gil Do Canto, Ana Clara

Abstract: This investigation studies the use of language regarding the treatment of the information in the sports newspaper Marca about the Euro 2022 to assess the correct media representation of the Spanish women’s national football team. The purpose of this study is to identify sexist biases in the configuration of the journalistic message that may be discriminatory or result in gender inequality. The investigation follows a mixed methodological approach based in content analysis of information about the national football team. Three types of sexist biases are established: linguistic (words or language structures that are discriminatory towards women), discursive (distorted speech about women) and gender stereotypes (discourse that perpetuates sexist stereotypes). The results have identified sexist biases in 35 out of 36 pieces studied. Regarding linguistic biases the use of the generic male form (16%) stands out. Out of the discursive biases, the familiarity treatment of sports women (29%) sticks out when referring to athletes only by their given name. In terms of gender stereotypes, sexists’ references (4%) are brought up by highlighting rivalries or disputes between athletes and anecdotes that are not significant to become news events. The grade of Marca’s display of sexist biases is considered low in this study but, in their journalistic message, it has been proven the existence of language structures that make women’s presence invisible to the audience, as well as sexists’ terms and discourses that devalue women’s achievements in the sports industry.
