Temple hosts Women in Sports Media symposium

Temple’s Klein College of Media and Communication, in conjunction with its Claire Smith Center for Sports Media, hosted its first-ever Women in Sports Media symposium at Mitten Hall. Sports media figures including Claire Smith, Melissa Ludke and Lisa Saxon, as well as Philadelphia Inquirer writer Gina Mizell and editor Isabella DiAmore, were part of the panel. Doris Burke, who was awarded the first-ever Trailblazer award, spoke alongside former MLBer Steve Garvey as the event’s “two main distinguished guests.” On Friday, Garvey was awarded the first-ever Claire Smith Allyship Award for “continued support of women in sports media” (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 10/19).
