Synopsis
Across all media - print, broadcast as well as online - sports journalism has come to occupy an increasingly visible space. Sports Journalism looks at the institutional, cultural, and economic environment and provides an invaluable overview of contemporary sports journalism across all media forms.
Key Features:
- Situates sports journalism within the broader historical, economic, technological, and cultural contexts
- Examines the commercialisation of sport and the impact this is having on sports journalism
- Looks at the relationship between PR and journalism
- Considers the gendered nature of the industry and the impact of digital technology on professional practice
This book offers a unique and up-to-date in-depth analysis of Sports Journalism as organized, produced and consumed, and, as such, it will be required reading for all undergraduate journalism and media studies students.
