  Previous research has identified the changing room in physical education (PE) as a challenging environment for both teachers and students, though the reasons behind these perceptions and possible solutions remain unclear. As a result, the changing room has been described as a ‘black box’. Discourses play a role in shaping perceptions and social practices, which may also apply to the changing room in PE. Hence, this article examines who has a say and what is being said about the changing room in Norwegian media. We analyzed 395 news articles published between January 1, 1985, and January 1, 2024, in Norway, including both printed and online sources. The study employed reflexive thematic analysis and a Foucauldian theoretical framework. Our findings indicate that students are the dominant voices in the media, as they appear four times more often than teachers. Four themes emerged: the changing room as an unsafe space, the nudity paradox, exclusion from other arenas, and the changing room as a potential learning environment. Our findings contrast sharply with previous research, as media portrayals are considerably more negative. We suggest that these negative portrayals may exacerbate the experience of the changing room for both students and teachers.
