Abstract
Women who aspire to enter the field of TV sports casting confront many barriers arising out of the structure of legacy media corporations and their hiring and retention practices. Once they gain entry to positions in sports journalism, women often find that they are not treated seriously and this situation can affect their on-air assignments and advancements. this study addressed these issues as seen through the eyes of incumbent female sportscasters. Sports Journalism has been a difficult area for women to enter and be taken seriously.
