Who Can Apply: The GIST is a female-founded and led sports media brand that’s leveling the playing field in sports playing field in sports.
Launched in 2018 by three college friends — Jacie deHoop, Ellen Hyslop, and Roslyn McLarty — The GIST is all about changing the game in the male-dominated sports industry where less than 14% of journalists are women and less than 4% of coverage is on female athletes.
Three years later, their all-women, 20-person team works day in and day out to change those stats, providing equal coverage of men’s and women’s sports.
Think of them as your witty, sports-obsessed best friend. They’re a multimedia destination that’s made by and for sports fans who don’t fit (or maybe don’t want to fit) the traditional avid sports fan mold.
