Lisa Ingarfield is joined by author, journalist and host of the Burn it All Down podcast Jessica Luther to discuss Women’s Representation in the Media and the repetitive erosion of women's contributions. They unpack some examples of how female athletes are shunted into the shadows and regarded as a secondary story, regardless of their performance. Why media perpetuate this style of journalism to cover stories that they shape to their audience and diminish women’s achievements in the process. You can contribute to this conversation by emailing us at [email protected] or posting your comment on our Facebook page or on the website at www.wispsports.com.
