Measurement for Evaluation in Physical Education and Exercise Science

Jackson, Andrew (Tony)

This book discusses the intersection of sport and the media, examining the ways in which they have begun to influence economics, politics, and culture. Rowe (media and cultural studies, U. of Newcastle, Australia) compares how the "media sport cultural complex" is produced (in section one), with what it produces, such as new technologies, television stations, and creative sports writing (in section two).

Open Univ Pr

This text is about the conjunction of two of the most powerful cultural forces of our times - sport and media. It examines the ways in which media sport has insinuated itself into contemporary everyday life, and how sport and media have made themselves mutually indispensable as well as, for whole societies of people, unavoidable. The book is divided into two parts. The first looks at the rise of the sports media and the ways in which broadcast and print sports texts are produced. The second examines different media forms - television, still photography, news reporting, film, live commentary, creative sports writing and new media sports technologies.

Critical Readings: Sport, Culture and the Media (Issues in Cultural and Media Studies)

Sport Beyond Television (Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies)

Television is no longer the only screen delivering footage and news to people about sport. Computers, the Internet, Web, mobile and other digital media are increasingly important technologies in the production and consumption of sports media. Sport Beyond Television analyzes the changes that have given rise to this situation, combining theoretical insights with original evidence collected through extensive research and interviews with people working in the media and sport industries. It locates sports media as a pivotal component in online content economies and cultures, and counteracts the scant scholarly attention to sports media when compared to music, film and publishing in convergent media cultures. An expanding array of popular sports media – industry, user, club, athlete and fan produced – is now available and accessible in networked digital communications environments. This change is confounding the thinking of major sports organizations that have lived off the generous revenue flowing from exclusive broadcast contracts with free-to-air and subscription television networks for the last five decades. These developments are creating commercial and policy confusion, particularly as sports audiences and the advertising market fragment in line with the proliferation of niche channels and sources of digital sports media. Chapters in this title examine the shift from broadcast to online sports media markets, the impact of social networking platforms like Twitter and Facebook, evolving user and fan practices, the changing character of sports journalism, and the rise of sports computer gaming. Each chapter traces the socio-cultural implications of trends and trajectories in media sport.
