Tuggle, C. A.
Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, v41 n1 p14-24 Win 1997
Examines the amount of coverage given to women's athletics by ESPN SportsCenter and CNN Sports Tonight. Results indicated: both programs devoted only about 5% of their air time to women's sports; story placement and on-camera comments indicated an emphasis on men's athletics; and stories about women involved individual competition, with almost no attention given to women's team sports.
