This insightful volume explores the major challenges facing sports journalism in Australia today, discussing how, in an environment dominated by sports organisations and increasing commercial factors, the role of the sports journalist is being severely compromised.By combining quantitative and qualitative responses from 120 sports journalists with previous research and placing these in the theoretical lenses of field and gatekeeping theories, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of Australian sports journalism. Topics discussed include ethical questions in reporting on sports, the role of women in sports journalism, and the increased commercialisation of the field, as well as journalists' perceptions on sports organisations and the changing access for media. The book also offers suggestions for the future of the industry, and two contemporary conceptual models are developed.Offering important insight into the workings of contemporary sports journalism in Australia, this book is a useful resource for academics and students around the world in the fields of journalism, media, sports and communication.

In modern animal production the role and importance of the stockperson has been neglected. While it is appreciated in some sections of the animal industry that the technical skills and knowledge of stockpeople have a large impact on animal efficiency, health and welfare, the role of other human factors has in general been ignored. This practical book seeks to address these issues and to highlight the benefits to both the animals and the farm which will accrue from improved stockmanship.
