Criticism of ARD broadcast: Discussion about directed by the Olympic game
The recent events related to the broadcast of the football game of the German women's team at the Olympic Games, but also with the media representatives, caused excitement. The ARD was particularly criticized in social networks, which led to a statement by the station.
criticisms of the direction of TV broadcast
During the transfer of the game on Sunday evening, in a non-sold out Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, the direction repeatedly focused on cheering fans. This was done at the expense of slow motion and exciting game scenes that could have shown the game better. This decision led to resentment among the spectators who wanted more visual impressions of the game.
The responsibility and reactions of the broadcasters
ARD sports coordinator Axel Balkausky said that the criticism of the direction was quite justified. He emphasized that the topic would be discussed with those responsible to ensure better reporting in the future. Bernd Schmelzer, who commented on the game live, also described the direction as "adventurous" and thus brought the dissatisfaction of many to the public.
ZDF and hosting of the transmission
The ZDF, which also accompanied the encounter, referred to the Hostbroadcaster Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) and explained that it primarily with a camera were on site for interviews. Team boss Yorck Polus explained that they would be in constant exchange with OBS to give feedback on the transmissions.
effects on the perception of women's football
However, these critical voices for TV transmission also lead a light on a bigger problem: The presentation of women in sport. Many fans and analysts demand equivalent treatment of the women's team, which has increasingly gained popularity in recent years. It remains to be seen whether these incidents will lead to an improvement in TV reporting and a greater appreciation of women's football.
Overall, it can be seen that the quality of media reporting plays a decisive role in the perception and appreciation of women's football. The discussion about the Olympic broadcast could thus serve as an impetus to think about the future presentation and promotion of women's football on TV.
