THERE was bit of media bashing at the National Sports Convention as delegates expressed dissatisfaction that local newspapers have better coverage of foreign sports.

Several delegates said the media should play its role in developing local sports rather than focusing on what is happening abroad.

However, it was pointed out in one group discussion that success ensures better coverage and squash world champion Nicol David (pic) is a classic example as she doesn't lack publicity.

The same applies to the national shuttlers.
