Sports and politics don't mix. In truth, that has never been the case. Sports, in fact, reflect every issue, every conflict in society from civil rights to equal justice. Melissa Ludtke knows this from experience. In the 1970's, when she was trying to cover Major League Baseball for Sports Illustrated, her path to doing the job – which required equal access to the players – was blocked by a powerful and inflexible commissioner. The battle mirrored America's burgeoning women's movement, and ultimately ended up in federal court, presided over by a judge with her own civil rights experience. Ludtke tells the story in “Locker Room Talk: A Woman's Struggle to Get Inside,” and on this episode of Equal Time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In a break from our usual focus, Melissa Ludtke joins the show to discuss her book "Locker Room Talk: A Woman's Struggle To Get Inside," her landmark case that won equal rights for female reporters and how she has seen the shape of women in sports media change over the years. Olivia Reiner, who covers the Eagles for the Philadelphia Inquirer, joins the discussion as the echoes of Ludtke's fight in 1977 are still reverberating today.

Relying on a near half-century of deep research and reflection, Melissa Ludtke recounts her landmark federal case in “Locker Room Talk.” In 1977 and '78, as a Sports Illustrated reporter, Ludtke was the winning plaintiff in Ludtke v. Kuhn, a U.S. federal case that Time Inc. and lawyer Fritz Schwarz Jr. brought against Major League Baseball. In the courtroom, Justice Constance Baker Motley — a civil rights icon  — found that MLB commissioner Bowie Kuhn had violated Kuhn's constitutional rights by denying her the same access the male reporters had at Yankee Stadium during the '77 World Series. Neither the legal win nor the affray in the court of public opinion came easily. But within a decade, Ludtke notes, the ranks of female sports journalists had increased enough to start AWSM (Association of Women in Sports Media). Ludtke, a former TIME magazine correspondent, has also worked at Nieman Labs. She lives in Massachusetts and writes the Let's Row Together newsletter on Substack.

There are no reporters more integral to the actual history of how baseball is covered today than Melissa Ludtke (@MelissaLudtke on social media). Ludtke's brave fight against Bowie Kuhn and major league baseball opened clubhoouses to all reporters, regardless of gender, and made it possible for women to cover the game every day. Her new book, Locker Room Talk: A Woman's Struggle To Get Inside, chronicles how this crucial fight was won and its repercussions across sports, popular culture, and Ludtke's personal life. It's a great conversation with a true pioneer, whose heroism and sacrifice made today's media landscape possible. Plus, happy birthday to Ken Forsch and Roger Maris! And farewell to Nelson Chittum, Mel Held, Bob Chlupsa, and Jerry Walker.

A suinocultura industrial, aquela que exporta, está em uma área livre de Peste Suína Africana. E claro, por isso, nossas preocupações com enfermidades nem sempre envolvem esta doença. Mas você sabia que a zona não-livre de PSC no Brasil tem quase 6 milhões de suínos de criação, sem contar os asselvajados? Essa informação que a Dra. Charli Ludtke nos deu nesse episódio me deixou de queixo caído! Outra informação contundente é que nos últimos 2 anos tivemos 70 (sim, SETENTA) focos de PSC no país. Está aí a gigantesca importância de se iniciar um projeto piloto chamado Plano Brasil Livre de Peste Suína Clássica. Termos o país inteiro livre desta doença certamente deixa a suinocultura nacional em um patamar muito melhor. A Dra. Charli nos conta todos os detalhes do plano, etapa por etapa, e as metas e histórias da região onde o plano começou. Só de vacinadores, são mais de 60. Sem dúvidas uma enorme contribuição capitaneada pela ABCS, contada aqui no SuinoCast. Não deixe de escutar.

In 1977, Melissa Ludtke, a Sports Illustrated baseball reporter, was told that she was banned from reporting in the locker rooms because she was a woman. In 1978, she went to court with the federal case Ludtke v. Kuhn and won, creating an equal access policy for reporters in Major League Baseball. She took the time to share her entire story from start to finish, discussing the exclusion she and the other women in the “male-dominated culture” felt, along with what still needs to change today.

The harp is one of the most visually stunning instruments to see performed live.  It is also one of the most complicated instruments, enough that usually only harpists or experienced harp composers actually understand it.  For that reason, this episode features a lot more "101" on the instrument than normal.Our guest is Grace Ludtke, and she talks about what it's like to play the harp in addition to the demands of playing the instrument for musical theatre.  She also reveals that her origin in theatre was as an actor and even running the light board, and we talk about how other theatre experience makes you a better a pit musician.  Grace also has thoughts about how the harp is actually a character, and the various roles it plays in productions from Hamilton to The Nutcracker, to an opera by Francis Poulenc.We talk about an ensemble that Grace helped create called the North Carolina Harp Ensemble.  You can follow them at www.ncharpensemble.org.  You can follow Grace at www.graceludtke.com and follow her on Facebook or Instagram @harpist.graceYou can comment or find out more about this podcast at www.davidlanemusic.com/podcast or follow on IG/Twitter @LifeInThePitPod.

Veteran sports columnist Gene Collier joins Tim to talk about the ubiquitous locker room interview and how it changed the way the world learns about and sees sports. Gene tells stories of his own memorable experiences as a journalist interviewing athletes and coaches before and after some of the biggest events of their lives. In this episode we talk about the first locker room interview pioneer, and the time when female journalists gained access to team locker rooms. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Locker_Room_Full_auphonic.mp3 Dick Young started as a statistician in the sports department at the New York Daily News in 1943. Not long after that, he worked his way up to become the beat reporter for the then Brooklyn Dodgers, one of the most prized beats in all of Major League Baseball and sports reporting. It was in that role that Dick did something that would change the way the media would cover sports. He went into the team locker room before and after games to get interviews with players and coaches. Before that, a lot of sports coverage didn't even include quotes from the players and coaches. The sports reporters would cover the games according primarily only to what they saw and how they analyzed the game. Dick Young is the one who took the fans into the locker room. After he did so, it would be nearly impossible to enter a locker room before or after any major sporting event and not see writers, photographers, and TV and radio reporters, crowded in locker rooms or around the locker of the player who just won…or lost… the game for his team. For years, the teams and sports leagues would not allow female reporters in the locker rooms, giving their male counterparts and edge in getting highly prized interviews and scoops. Then in 1977, during the baseball World Series, the league refused to allow Melissa Ludtke into the locker rooms of both teams – the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. She was working for Sports Illustrated at that time. After that, both Ludtke and the owner of Sports Illustrated, Time, Inc., filed a lawsuit against Major League Baseball. A year later, a federal judge ruled against Major League Baseball's ban against allowing female reporters in locker rooms. That opened the doors to the locker room to female journalists. Since then, sports have changed, rules have changed, but one thing that hasn't is the omnipresence of reporters in locker rooms.

During the World Series in 1977, Melissa Ludtke, a credentialed writer for Sports Illustrated, was denied entrance to the teams' clubhouses in the wake of Game 6, while her male colleagues were invited in with open arms. This touched off a legal battle that ended 40 years ago, when the courts ordered MLB to provide equal access for reporters who are women. Yahoo! Sports's Liz Roscher (@lizroscher) joins Mike and Bill this week to talk about Ludtke and her fight, and the uphill battle women still have to be involved in a sport that sometimes acts like it doesn't want them. Plus, happy birthday to Ferris Fain and Roy Thomas.

We are coming up on the 40th anniversary of the landmark victory of Ludkte v. Kuhn. Melissa Ludtke, at the time a 20-something sports reporter for Sports Illustrated, was barred from entering the Yankees clubhouse while on assignment during the World Series. MLB policies banned women from locker rooms at the time. Ludtke’s suit was […] The post Leveling The Playing Field: Melissa Ludtke appeared first on Radio Influence.

Hoje, o Brasil tem 35 partidos e quase 30 com representação no Congresso. Nas eleições de 2018, passa a valer a cláusula de barreira, criada para tentar reduzir essa hiper-fragmentação partidária.   Neste "Politiquês", conversamos com o Luiz Domingos Costa, pesquisador do observatório de elites políticas e sociais da Universidade Federal do Paraná, para entender o por quê temos tantos partidos no Brasil e os pontos positivos e negativos de mudar esse cenário.   A sugestão de pauta foi do Henrique Rennó Zanata, assinante do Nexo de Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte. A trilha sonora é da Lila e a dica de livro é do jornalista Sérgio Ludtke.

My interview today is with Melissa Ludtke, a journalist who has reported for Sports Illustrated, been a correspondent for Time, worked at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism, and is also the creator of a transmedia project called Touching Home in China. But in today's interview we're talking about life in her twenties, and Melissa's was marked by the famous 1978 court case Ludtke v. Kuhn in which she, a young journalist backed by her employers, Sports Illustrated and Time Inc., sued the Major League Baseball Commissioner for the right to report from players' locker rooms. Melissa is at work writing a memoir about this experience, and I can't. Wait. To. Read. It. Melissa didn't fall into sports reporting so easily. She had graduated and wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do next when she had a chance encounter with football player and commentator Frank Gifford, who told her she knew a lot about sports—for a girl. Melissa decided that sports journalism was going to be it, and Gifford invited her to New York City to tour ABC Sports. Despite having a foot in the door, Melissa didn't get a job at ABC Sports right away because—twist!—the women's movement had started, and companies were coming under fire for putting women who had college degrees in administrative work. First she had to pay her dues as a secretary for Harper's Bazaar (which, I guess, didn't care about that). But when Melissa wasn't working, she'd shadow at ABC, absorbing as much as she could. Melissa ended up at Sports Illustrated as a researcher/reporter, and using her press pass, spent night after night at the ballpark. There was just one problem: Because she was a woman, Melissa wasn't allowed to go into the players' locker room for interviews before the game started (this was after batting practice—no one was naked!). If one of her male cohorts couldn't persuade a player to step outside and do an interview with Melissa, she didn't get any work done that day. But Melissa didn't make waves—it wasn't her style—and she didn't stop showing up. And then, a breakthrough that signaled her go-slow approach was working: Mickey Morabito, the Yankees' PR director, asked her if she'd like to join the men reporters in Yankees manager Billy Martin's office after games to do interviews. And for the 1977 World Series, both teams—the Yankees and Dodgers—agreed to allow Melissa access to their locker rooms to report. Unfortunately, that wouldn't come to pass. The baseball commissioner banned Melissa from the locker rooms during the World Series because she was a woman. And so, Melissa became the face of a lawsuit against Major League Baseball for equal rights. This episode was produced by Erin McKinstry. Our music, from Blue Dot Sessions, is called The Zeppelin.

In 1978, US female sports journalists won a major victory in their fight to do their jobs in the same way as men. US sports had a tradition of allowing reporters to do interviews in the dressing-room after big games. Women were not allowed in until baseball reporter Melissa Ludtke's case went to court.
