What makes a journalist chase one story over another? What is it really like travelling as a woman journalist? How do you deal with online harassment, navigating politics in sport, and, yes, being invited to inaugurate washrooms.

In this episode, our panelists talk about the realities of women’s sports journalism, the stories that stay with them, the challenges they face, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. Plus, their advice for young reporters looking to find their voice and make their mark.
