Toni Bruce has been researching the mainstream media for more than 25 years and observing how it represents sport. A former sports journalist, she's now an academic - a professor at the University of Auckland's Faculty of Education and Social Work. Among her research topics are gender, disability, race and nationalism and on September 12 she'll be giving a lecture in Auckland that explains the kinds of stories the media tells about sport.
