      1. The remake of a 25-year study focuses on a variety of aspects that feed into coverage of women’s sports. After studying local and national television services in the Los Angeles area, researchers uncovered a multitude of sly comments and lack of coverage that belittled women’s sports.
    2. How I used it
      1. I frequently pulled statistics or examples from this research, as it contained information and phrasing that I was unable to find elsewhere. This was also a source that provided me with smaller research papers that tied into my paper well.

      1. I used three of the reasons that Ettienne provides to explain why the number of fans is scarce in the earliest seasons. I also liked to look back on the comparisons between the WNBA and women’s college basketball to create a better understanding for myself.

    2. How I used it
      1. I used this article as the main source of my rebuttal. I referenced it throughout the argument to present my audience with a different perspective.

    1. Background

    2. How I used it
      1. I used the statistic that they found that states that less than 1% of time on these shows was dedicated to a story relating to women’s sports. This statistic jumps out to readers, and personally made me think about how we really do not see anything on women’s sports on these big name shows.

    2. How I used it
      1. I quoted information found in this study throughout each of my short arguments. In the study they found that when women were mentioned there was often a negative connotation to it.

    This SOUNDS detailed, but in a very few words you could NAME the “factors that would explain.”

    Background
    Lerae Ettienne dives into the monetary structure of the WNBA and the collaboration between them and the NBA. She also highlights factors that would explain why the league has not gained the amount of traction the media expects it to have.
    How I used it
    I used three of the reasons that Ettienne provides to explain why the number of fans is scarce in the earliest seasons. I also liked to look back on the comparisons between the WNBA and women’s college basketball to create a better understanding for myself.

    Your “How I Used It” communicates almost nothing.

    I won’t do this for the rest of the entries, but most of them are equally vague. I should be able to read your Annotated Bib and get a very strong understanding of your overall argument.

    Preliminarily graded. Eligible for a Regrade following significant Revision.
