As the 2010 FIFA World Cup draws closer, journalists from across the world are gearing up to cover the
international event, but will female journalists factor into media coverage? Sports reporting has long been thought of as a man's game - a stereotype that has contributed to low numbers of female sports writers historically. While certain countries, such as South Africa, may be making strides in terms of women journalists who have broken these kinds of stereotypes, according to FIFA and Confederation of African Football (CAF) coaching instructor
Fran Hilton, many countries in southern Africa continue to lag behind.
