think people don& #39;t click on women& #39;s sports? I analyzed 48 features written in the michigan daily between march 2019 and now. eight of the top 24 were on women& #39;s sports, despite women& #39;s sports stories making up just under a third of the sample.

the women& #39;s sports stories didn& #39;t beat the very most popular football or men& #39;s basketball stories, but even then, only half the football + men& #39;s basketball features beat our top features on women& #39;s sports

the average number of views of all the features in my sample was 2,184 — but that includes four very popular football and MBB features with over 5,000 views. Take out *just* those four, and the women& #39;s sports features averaged just as many views as the men& #39;s

student newspapers obviously aren& #39;t the same as professional outlets, but at this student newspaper, coverage of women& #39;s sports more than held its own — and that& #39;s without a hugely transcendent national star like Sabrina Ionescu
