Sports photojournalists in Cameroon face growing challenges, from the rise of mobile photography and content creators to financial struggles, piracy, and a widespread expectation for free images. Despite these obstacles, professionals emphasise the need for innovation, investment in training, and greater respect for their craft to ensure the survival of photojournalism in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Gender inequality persists in sports journalism, with female reporters significantly under-represented, as shown by studies revealing that only 5.1% of sports articles are written by women. Advocates call for equal representation, more inclusive hiring practices, and a broader focus on women's sports to challenge stereotypes, improve coverage, and give women a stronger voice in shaping sports narratives.
