Women Talk Sport

Chapter 8

Why do we see so few women working as sports journalists and does that impact the coverage of women’s sport? 

The gender balance in sports broadcasting is getting better, but still women face relentless sexism and misogyny just for doing their jobs. 

In this chapter we speak to some of the trailblazers in sports media including Jacqui Oatley, Anna Kessel and Elly Oldroyd. 

What was it like in the past, how have things changed and what might the future hold for women talking sport? 

A big thank you to our partners, Sport England who support The Game Changers through a National Lottery award.
