Sport reporting continues to suffer from a lack of inclusion - despite the explosion of diversity officers across the board over the past five years.
The issue was among many discussed at the second Include Summit, held in Manchester last week. Across the two-day conference, leading figures from a range of media and sporting bodies welcomed students and addressed the areas for improvement - including language and more representation at senior leadership level.
Co-founder of the Include Summit, Jamie Hooper, told the conference: “We’ve seen in the last few years an explosion of EDI leads across different organisations in sport and organisations working in that sport space. What I feel is that we’re not seeing that explosion of progress at the rate we see people coming into these roles.”
