Robert Thompson, Trustee Professor of television, radio and film and director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture in the Newhouse School, was quoted in the Associated Press story, “,” and in a story for the CNY Central.

Thompson remarked upon the lack of coverage of women’s sports in the media and on the story of student-athlete Odicci Alexander, saying, “I’m sure there have been great stories filled with all of these great narrative flourishes like hers that have been going on in women’s sports for years, but people who would have loved those stories never hear them because there hasn’t been a lot of space given.”
