Women's Sports Foundation (WSF) today published a report outlining that the coverage women's sport in the national and regional print media has increased by a mere 1.5% over the last three years. With the pace of change in coverage so excruciatingly slow, it is predicted that women's sport coverage will not receive the space, detail, consistency and prominence of men's sport until 2106.
