Joanne Lannin on Women in Sports Journalism on Wednesday, March 22nd 6pm. Women in sports journalism have faced an uphill battle. They faced colleagues who ignored them, athletes who tried to humiliate them, fans who ridiculed them, and executives who tried to keep them from doing their jobs—challenges many still face today. In Who Let Them In? Pathbreaking Women in Sports Journalism, local author Joanne Lannin recounts the stories of the female sportscasters and writers who paved the way for those that followed.
