Abstract

Despite being a majority in Brazilian newsrooms, women still seem to be a minority in sports departments. News about female sports and athletes are also a minority on the media. By using the methodology of oral history and interviewing ten sports journalists fromCuritiba(Paraná,Brazil), we intend to better understand the social point of collision between three distinct and interrelated fields: sport, gender and media, focusing on the difficulties they face in their jobs and the processes they use to select information with potential to become news. In their speeches, they reproduce the journalistic production model under capitalist and male dominance in sport, also subject to pressures.
