Women's sports have been getting more attention recently, from Olympic coverage of gymnastics, swimming and track to surges in popularity of women's soccer and basketball. But what about the role women play in broadcasting and media of both men's and women's sports?
On this episode of Newhouse Impact, Olivia Stomski, Professor of Practice and Director of the Newhouse Sports Media Center. She shares her past getting a start in sports broadcasting, the obstacles and assistance she got along the way to success, and how those experiences shape the way she guides aspiring broadcasters now. Stomski also offers opinions on whether a rise in popularity of women's sports will increase opportunities in media, and if the industry is getting past gender discrimination.
