Bellisario College of Communications, Pennsylvania State University\u003cbr\u003e“The history of the press’s role in the coverage of sports is the story masterfully told by Washburn’s and Lamb’s \u003ci\u003eSports Journalism\u003c\/i\u003e. At the heart of the narrative . . . is the growing tension between journalism and entertainment values. How the sporting press responded to this challenge to its underlying legitimacy not only reveals the story of American sports journalism but also illuminates the larger challenges that journalism as a whole will certainly face in the future.”—David Abrahamson, professor of journalism at the Medill School at Northwestern University\u003cbr\u003e“This is the most dynamic and complete history of sports journalism that I have ever read. From the current to the one-time well-known to important sports journalism people who have been ignored or marginalized in other histories, all get their due in this thorough work. Highly recommended for both popular and academic markets. I learned a lot and was reminded that the history of sports journalism, from the beginning in the United States in 1733 (!) to today, is a history of changing social mores, political economics, athletic accomplishment, and always evolving media technology.”—Robert Bellamy, professor of media at Duquesne University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface    \u003cbr\u003e Introduction    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: The Beginning of American Sportswriting    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: Sports Journalism Blossoms    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: Newspapers and Radio Begin to Coexist    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: Sportswriters and Black Athletes    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: \u003ci\u003eSports Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e and ABC Television    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six: ESPN and Women Sportswriters and Broadcasters    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Seven: The State of Sports Journalism    \u003cbr\u003e Notes    \u003cbr\u003e Bibliography    \u003cbr\u003e Index    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409230569815,"sku":"9781496220233","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781496220233.jpg?v=1730506057","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sports-journalism-9781496220233","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
