Zoe Tzanis, a PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh who has written a study on racism in WNBA media, with a specific focus on the 2024 WNBA Playoffs. There, we discuss and introduce the idea of co-framing to our audience. Great white hope narratives, particularly involving Caitlin Clark. Elaborate on what rhetorical negotiation looks like and how viewers might spot it when they see it. And what is our responsibility as fans of the WNBA? In our FFQ (Freddie's Fun Question), we ask what two players we would want to see unfiltered on television.  Link to Study: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15274764261436364?fbclid=PARlRTSASz8HxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaeOcl-37IoAVn3dZPQi7eQYE2nlzSTHhqHrGw9hNk28vZ1yJCTHCSpLiMf8Nw_aem_nYG3dXhWU_s7aFmqTQqo-Q Follow Us @thepickupwnbapod @itsme_cathryn @freddierivas / @freddienoelrivas Hosted on Acast.
