From the supplier: The media coverage received by a study on the effects of sporting events, specifically the Super Bowl, on assaults against women shows the politics involved in crime reports by the media. It highlights how the media's news selection process is influenced by cultural and structural factors which serve to transform news information into more acceptable items. Such is the case when the media tends to alter or ignore gender myths and ensure that news do not upset the institutional power structures.
