Sport, Culture and the Media: The Unruly Trinity (Issues in Cultural and Media Studies)

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).
