Breaking Barriers: Women in Local Sports Journalism

Aubreigh Heck, a senior student at Kansas Wesleyan University, has been invited to participate in a breakout session at the Kansas Collegiate Media state convention on April 22 at Wichita State University. The session will focus on the importance of covering local sports, particularly high school sports, and how some of the best and most rewarding sports journalism is carried out at the local level.

As a woman covering high school sports in Hutchinson and Salina, Heck brings a unique perspective to the discussion. With a double major in Communications and Public Relations, she also holds the position of editor-in-chief at KWU Student Media. During the panel discussion, Heck will share her insights on covering sports as a woman and discuss the challenges she has faced while covering high school sports in Hutchinson and Salina.

Other panelists joining Heck in the session include Scott Paske from the Kansas State High School Activities Association and formerly of the Wichita Eagle, Charles Chaney from The El Dorado Times-Gazette, and Joel Muhs from the McPherson Sentinel. Together, they will provide a comprehensive view of the importance and challenges of covering local sports in journalism.
