‘It does feel like there’s been a real shift’: Tara Rushton on life as a female sports journalist
Ahead of International Women’s Day this Sunday, Ten sports reporter and presenter Tara Rushton talks to Mumbrella about being a female in an industry where women are underrepresented.
Tara Rushton is one of the country's most prominent sports journalists
When Tara Rushton joined Fox Sports in 2013, it was a bit of a boys’ club.
“Walking into the environment over a decade ago it was heavily male-dominant, and I believe most stories were told through a male lens and a male gaze,” she tells Mumbrella.
“Definitely, the representation of females today has completely changed. There are so many more women working in the industry, not just in sport, but across journalism as a whole.”
