Why Chosen
This book is my award-winning examination of gender in sport broadcast media. I pursued this research very early on in my scholarly career because I felt (and still feel) that we as a society had very few solutions to gender inequities that seem so obvious to anyone who consumes sport media. I also believe that the sport media industrial complex is society's mirror; as an observable entity, the sport media have as much to say about us as a society as they do sport and media.
