Part 4/7:
The refusal of the WNBA to grant media credentials to certain outlets, such as Outkick, raises questions about transparency and the relationship between the league and critical journalism. Critics argue that this censorship stifles genuine discourse and offers a protected environment for the league’s narratives, where only favorable viewpoints are welcomed. The assumption is that the WNBA may want to control the narrative, keeping it insulated from outside scrutiny that could expose imperfections or inadequacies in its business model and performance.
