I’m Not a Slut, I’m a Journalist

This documentary features more than twenty sports journalists, including Marie Portolano, Isabelle Ithurburu, and Estelle Denis. They share their experiences of enduring the pervasive misogyny and harassment that often accompanies their work in a male-dominated industry. The film highlights the stark contrast between the increasing presence of women in sports journalism and the ongoing culture of degradation and insult they face, including sexual innuendos and moral harassment.

By focusing on real testimonies from professionals in the field, I’m Not a Slut, I’m a Journalist provides an unfiltered look at the struggles women encounter in sports media. The documentary addresses the “Yucky jokes” and the so-called “culture de boy’s club” that persists despite the progress made in the representation of women. This film serves as an important commentary on the need for change within the industry and raises awareness about the systemic issues that female journalists confront daily.
