Week by week result of genders in the media

Week 2

The second week has past and nothing has really changed, and i don't think it will for a while.

Seeing a change in this industry will be a difficult task for anyone who is trying to find a balance between genders.

Upon investigating further on the problem, a Center for Feminist Research in University of Southern California have found that 96.3% of airtime go to male sports, 1.6% of female sports are on airtime and 2.1% are neutral gendered.

The research was done between 1989 and 2009 which show from 2004 a drop for females sports from 6.4% to what it is now 1.6%.
