Amplifying women’s sport in the media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, just 27%* of sports coverage in NZ was about women\u2019s sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To continue to improve this, a key action that we keep hearing is that we are all responsible for connecting, sharing and asking for more stories about women in sport from our media.  So below are the details of local media in Waitaha who YOU should contact if you have a story that you want to reach the wider community<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*For the latest information and stats on media coverage of women\u2019s sport in NZ, check out this Media Analysis | Sport New Zealand – Ihi Aotearoa<\/a> ongoing research between Sport NZ and Isentia<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
