New guidelines address camera coverage of female athletics events

New camera guidelines have been released by the European Broadcasting Union for broadcasters covering female athletics. These guidelines aim to prevent the sexualization of athletes by recommending more respectful camera angles. British Olympic Bronze medalist Holly Bradshaw has highlighted issues with revealing angles during competitions. The guidelines include directives to avoid low camera angles and lingering shots that can generate inappropriate imagery. The BBC will begin implementing these guidelines at the European Athletics Championships starting August 10 in Birmingham, enhancing the focus on athlete dignity and mental health.
