Basketball writer Doug Feinberg and video journalist Brittany Peterson provided insight into the evolution of Unrivaled, a new women’s basketball league.
Feinberg’s sources and relationships helped secure behind-the-scenes access for a comprehensive look at what the league offers players and fans. Players opened up during interviews, giving Peterson a video tour of all the bells and whistles of the Miami-based league’s new venue. Photos captured the bonding interaction between players off the court and the competitiveness and intensity on the court.
The reporting went beyond the on-court results and style of play. The breadth of the report—including amenities for players, childcare options for mothers, and the invaluable financial opportunities for WNBA players to supplement incomes without playing overseas during the offseason—reflected AP’s commitment to covering women’s sports and collaboration across formats.
