- Title
Sports Television Reporters and the Negotiation of Fragmented Professional Identities.
- Authors
Genovese, Jason
- Abstract
This research examines the professional identities of sports television reporters at a regional sports network (RSN) in a major East Coast market. The ethnographic techniques of participant observation and interviews with these sports television news gatherers provide an in-depth look at the increasingly complex work facing sports journalists in this specific area of the sports-media complex. The study's findings reveal that women and African American sports television reporters working at this RSN said they are treated differently-even to an advantage-because of their gender and race. Such issues and developments reveal the sports television workplace as increasingly complicated and problematic for those working in it.
