Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of the current state of women journalists within the sports departments
at newspapers across the United States. This investigation involved a determination of their demographic make-up, job status
within the sports department, rationale for entering the field, and advice for younger women preparing to follow in their
footsteps. The findings suggest that although the large majority of women have faced discrimination in the sport media, they
believe improvements have been made towards equity. The majority of respondents noted that they were happy with the assignments
they had been given. Subjects did, however, feel that they were assigned to cover females more than their male counterparts,
and some responses regarding dissatisfaction with their positions was also noted. |
