Sports, Media, and Society investigates the impact of societal issues in sports and how the media reports those stories.
Why does the sports media operate in the manner that it does, and what’s the impact of its decisions on the audience?
With Sports, Media, and Society, there is now a resource that combines mainstay class discussion points, current case studies, and theoretical and historical foundations in one comprehensive text.
The book’s 34 chapters are each short and concise-a format preferred by instructors-covering a wide range of topics and easily digestible for students.
Part I covers sports media history and the media’s role as gatekeeper. Chapters explore the history and evolution of various media-newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and social media-and the business of and competition between sports media entities.
Case studies examine NBC’s Olympics coverage and the nimbleness of Sports Illustrated in the digital space.
Part II showcases television’s impact on how fans follow sports. Discussions include ABC’s Wide World of Sports, which exposed viewers to events around the globe; ESPN’s foray into 24/7 sports coverage; and Fox Sports’ shocking NFL deal, which marked a new era in media rights negotiations and sports broadcasting technologies.
The intersection of sports and social issues is the focus of part III.
Numerous issues are addressed, punctuated by case studies involving key players and events related to each topic. Cases concerning Colin Kaepernick, USWNT (and coverage of women’s sports generally), LGBTQ+ issues, and obstacles faced by women working in sports media are highlights, while examinations of social identity theory and framing provide context on how people identify with specific groups and how the media influences opinions.
Athletes and sport entities are constantly in the news-not always in a positive light.
Part IV addresses crisis management and communication, featuring case studies about Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, LeBron James (The Decision), Kobe Bryant (his death and the misreporting of facts surrounding it), and the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal.
The text concludes with part V, which explores emerging trends in sports media and society.
Through social media, virtually anyone can become a thought leader (wresting control from traditional outlets), and teams and athletes can dialogue directly with fans, effectively sidelining sports journalists. Chapters on the formerly taboo subjects of athlete mental health and sports wagering, as well as the exploding popularity of esports, round out the text.
Sports shape our culture in numerous ways, and the sports media plays a transformative role in how it occurs.
Sports, Media, and Society prepares tomorrow’s sports journalists and communicators to venture beyond the how-tos of developing content to understanding the whys behind it.
