Sports Night: More Relevant than Ever

Whether you’ve ever watched Aaron Sorkin’s 1998–2000 classic series Sports Night or not, this episode explains its 2018 relevance and calls for a reboot. We recently reviewed a sexual harassment plot from That Girl (1967) & found a similar scenario in Sports Night… which leads us to pondering the journalism’s commitment to changing workplace harassment.

Twenty years since Sports Night aired, we’re realizing that workplace conditions for women in sports media haven’t changed… much.
