(Sports) Journalist Barbie

It has not been a very good week for women in sports media, or television journalism as a whole. Mattel announced that the next evolution of career Barbie will now include TV Journalist Barbie, complete with pink power suit and high heels. To some, this development means nothing less than the end of journalism as we know it (with some help from CNN).

To those of us who watch the sports media, there are already plenty of TV Journalist Barbies out there. The lesson here? If you want to be taken seriously at work, dress the part ... including you, Barbie.
