This book interrogates the process of court reporting on rape and
other sexual crime cases involving Australian footballers. At the
intersection of sport, gender, media and the law, it uncovers the
story behind rape myths and stereotypes in media. This book
analyses newspaper reporting alongside transcripts of the trials
they represent and interviews with the journalists themselves.
Waterhouse-Watson's work maps structural factors within newsrooms,
and the complex relationship between the judiciary and media, that
affect the practice of court reporting. This book approaches key
journalism concepts like objectivity and balance critically,
illustrating the layers of mediation that surround a complainant's
testimony; the way sport shapes the meaning of courtroom and media
narratives in these cases; and the tension between racism and
sexism when race is thematised or otherwise highlighted.
Ultimately, the book proposes an ethics of court reporting that
protects individual complainants, as well as advancing public
understandings of the crime.
