Women Sports Reporters

Since starting this class I have learned sports have their own community, identity, communication styles and languages all their own. In this world there are a lot of first and broken records. I'd like to recognize three female sports reporters.

The first reporter that I would like to recognize is Phyllis George. 

Phyllis did a lot of things that I respect. She won the title Miss America and learned how to communicate with a variety of people. She then finished school and began working for CBS reporting sports. The 70's were an interesting and exciting time in history for women. She was one of the first female reporters to work for NFL today. I mostly like that she set goals and forged a path for herself. In doing so she created a new path in sports for women to follow. 

The second reporter is Andera Kremer

Andrea is the Chief Correspondent for NFL Network. What I respect about her is that she reports about hard issues in the NFL. Not just things that people want to hear about. Because of her I have learned how to talk about things that may be uncomfortable and get answers.

Brittany Copeland




Brittany is a local sports reporter. She does a variety of things at KSL. I like that she hasn't boxed herself into one form of reporting. I like how she reports about breaking news, community events and sports.

Women are playing a more dominate role in sports, and sports reporting. These three women have influenced me as I have consumed sports media.  Women are receiving more and more attention for accomplishments in the world of sports. Where women are making new ground in the reporting aspect and accomplishments I hope the reporting of women's sports gain a stronger audience. I think these two pieces go hand in hand, as an audience for women's sports grow.
