No women in the press box : a case study to compare the experience of women in print sports journalism from the 1980s and 2000s.

This case study examines women sports writers in the 1980s and 2000s. The purpose of the study was to describe the perceptions of women sports writers' in relationship to their professional and personal experiences in sports journalism, and how the field has changed in terms of gender relations, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination. Participants agreed that men and women are equal in terms of job duties, and they do not experience discrimination and harassment in the field. There is still progress to be made in terms of the number of women in sports journalism.
