Over the last year, the Sports Media Identity Network has been working 
with a range of academics and sports media professionals to 
identify best practice and recommendations for sports media 
practitioners, researchers and stakeholders. At this event, which will 
be held at *Northumbria University, London on January 19, 2024,* we will 
be sharing those findings and the resulting recommendations as outlined 
in our draft report.


Launched in May 2022, the central aim of the Sports Media Identity 
Network is a platform for the knowledge exchange between scholars (from 
a range of disciplines) who are united by a focus on sports media, and 
industry stakeholders and practitioners. As such, we welcome expressions 
of interest from academics, postgraduates, students, practitioners, and 
policy makers.

We also welcome presentations which interrogate the role that the sports 
media, in particular sports journalism, plays in the framing of identity 
in sport. The event has a broad focus, we particularly welcome abstracts 
concerning themes of diversity, representation, collaboration and 
pedagogy*.*

Our first three events have explored the representation of LGBT+ 
athletes and issues in sports media, the framing of race in sport and 
the framing of para-athletes and dis/ability in sport.


*Submissions: *We welcome 15-minute papers, multi-media or documentary 
presentations on topics including, but not limited to:

  * Inclusive and exclusive framing of minority sportsmen and women
  * Building diversity and inclusion into journalism training
  * Diversity in sports journalism and related media industries
  * Policy (and/or other) recommendations for tackling discrimination in
    sports media
  * Pathways to sharing research with media practitioners
  * Pathways to inter-disciplinary collaboration
Submissions are due by *Friday, 4 December 2023* and should:

 1. Be sent in the form of a Microsoft Word document (.doc, .docx)
 2. Not exceed 300 words
 3. Include the title of the paper
 4. Include the author’s full name, title, position and institution
 5. Include a brief professional biography (not exceeding 50 words)
Submissions should be sent to: (_SportMediaIdentity /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(SportMediaIdentity /at/ gmail.com)>_ with the subject header: 
/“Abstract: Sports Media Identity Network Event 4" /

It is intended that the event will lead to a journal special edition.
