<div dir="ltr"><b>7th Annual World Radio Day: Sports & Radio</b><br><ul><li>UNESCO World Radio Day with SOAS Radio & ConnectSport</li><li>7th February 2018, 15:00-20:00 at SOAS University London</li></ul>The 7th annual World Radio Day London will be hosted by SOAS Radio together with ConnectSport, with a focus on sports representation in media. In the UK, mainstream media overwhelmingly focuses on elite sport, meaning that under-represented groups often receive little coverage. This year we will ask how sports journalism might better reflect the diversity of sport culture across the UK - and in doing so help to challenge some of the stereotypes and cultural divides which persist in sport and society.<br><br>World Radio Day London will feature a trade fair with sports, media and development organisations and industry professionals, plus radio workshops and a main panel discussion on the question, “Has the media forgotten about the social value of sports?”<br><br>The event is free and open to the public.
