From the digital revolution that has transformed the role of the sports journalist, to the implications for journalist-source relationships in the wake of an increasing reliance on PR and communications personnel, the book builds on previous academic work with fresh input from the authors and primary case studies to bring us right up to date. The position of sports journalism in wider contemporary debates is tackled superbly and in-depth with salient chapters on areas including race and representation, coverage of women in sport and LGBT and disability; topics that transcend sports journalism but are also now integral to the development of the vocation and socio-political discussion generally. From students to scholars, to practising sports journalists and those invested in the sports media industries, this book is essential reading to obtain an informed understanding of the past, present and future of sports journalism and the growing significance of its place in the cultural fabric of society.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Randles, \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Chester\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Key Debates in Sports Journalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 – The Changing Role of the Sports Journalist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2 – The History of Sports Journalism: Continuity and Discontinuity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 – Sports Journalism, Nationalism and Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 – Defining Sports News\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 – Ethics, Regulation and Law for the Sports Journalist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6\u003ci\u003e – \u003c\/i\u003eSports Media Relations and Complicit Sports Journalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Diversity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7 – Racism, Representation and Sports Journalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 – Coverage of Women’s Sport and Female Sports Journalists\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9 – LGBT, Disability Sport and Inclusive Sports Journalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: The Crystal Ball\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10 – Extra Time: A Tentative Look into the Future of Sports Journalism\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019502715223,"sku":"9781138583528","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781138583528.jpg?v=1750780463","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sports-journalism-9781138583528","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
