Mexican Women Shouting for a Goal: Female Sports Narrators and Commentators, New References in Specialized Journalism in Mexico

Abstract

Thanks to professional women's football development in Mexico, a new generation has entered sports journalism as commentators and television narrators. These activities had been denied or restricted to them. Through discourse analysis, in profile journalistic interviews carried out by different media outlets with nine Mexican journalists, it is shown how they assume the identity of references or protectors for Mexican girls and young women who wish to venture into this journalistic specialization.
