Media Coverage and Female Athletes

Media Coverage and Female Athletes

Forty percent of all athletes are women, but only 4% are represented in the media – and too often how they look is more important than their skills. Explore the issue with scholars, the media, coaches at collegiate, Olympic and professional levels; and female athletes themselves. Produced with the University of Minnesota Tucker Center.

Media Coverage and Female Athletes is a local public television program presented by TPT
