Episode Synopsis

Heather Burns has spent three decades breaking barriers in sports journalism — and now she's making history as USA Today's first women's sports editor. From building ESPN's NFL Nation team to championing deeper coverage of women's athletics, Burns brings both experience and passion to the role. "It can't always be cheerleading," she says. "It's also got to be good journalism with integrity." With a new strategy called Studio 9 and the power of the USA Today Network behind her, she's determined to give women's sports the coverage it has always deserved.
