Journey through writing EPQ

During writing my EPQ I have had to cut down my work massively to stay within the word limit and try to just include the most significant points which seem most relevant to the question. During writing I had problems with the referencing so had to split the EPQ in two parts which I had to get help with from admin to put it back together on the same document with the references brought together too. During the research I have found articles as additional research that I have added in like the USA gymnast sexual abuse articles. I haven't had many problems when writing my EPQ and now I just have my conclusion to write and to check for any grammatical errors.

Evaluation of resources used in dissertation

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/40299469 Women's Sport Week 2017: Gender prize money gap narrowing, new study shows This source used within my dissertation is from a BBC article, the BBC is reliable as its one of the UKs most accurate source of news. The BBC is politically neutral so there is little bias within their articles, but the BBC have been claimed for bias reports in the past. The two journalists   Anna Thompson & Kate Kopczyk, who have written the article, have written numerous articles about gender equality within equality in sport so their reports are trustworthy as their knowledge on the topic is likely to be big. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/dec/15/usa-gymnastics-sexual-abuse-report Report details widespread sexual abuse at USA Gymnastics facilities This source used is from the Guardian which is one of the UKs main newspaper articles, its generally considered a reliable news source.

Factors affecting female participation

https://www.sportengland.org/media/3323/understanding-participation-among-15-19-year-old-girls-summary-report.pdf Participation for girls ages 15-19 "If you don't have a supportive family, then obviously, it's a lot harder – especially in stuff like getting there and to clubs and stuff". "I just don't have confidence around boys. 'Cos I just don't feel comfortable at all and 'cos it all depends on popularity and if you're not as good as them, then they take the mick out of you and everything". "I think clubs don’t really motivate you any more. I don’t feel there are a lot of clubs any more. I mean, especially for women. It’s all right for lads – they can do football. But there's no - no clubs for women, I don't think". Transitions, including lifestyle changes had a negative impact upon sports participation, due to a decrease in levels of spare time, money and energy. This is consistent regardless of current level o...

Media coverage for women's sport

No Increase in media coverage for women since London 2012 Olympics https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/womens-blog/2014/mar/13/womens-sport-newspaper-coverage-birmingham-university Research done from Birmingham University revealed that six of the Nations newspapers produced fewer stories from women's sport a year from the Olympics than they ever did before. Men's stories about sport outnumbered women by 20 to one in March 2013. These newspapers were the Sun, Mirror, Times, Telegraph, Mail and Express.  '76 articles about sport in these newspapers during three weekends, 39 (4.5%), related to women's sport in February/March 2012, compared with 2.9% in 2013 – not statistically significant until you reflect that 97% of sport coverage a year after the Olympic games was of men's sport.' Dr Claire Packer, a senior clinical lecturer in public health, who led the study said: "Maybe it was unrealistic to expect the 2012 games to solve the gender bias in rep...
