Sports, media, and society are intertwined, with the sports media often playing the gatekeeper in deciding how messages are presented and to what extent they are covered. Sports, Media, and Society investigates the impact of societal issues in sports and how the media reports those stories. The book's 34 chapters are short and concise, covering a wide range of topics and easily digestible for students. Part I covers sports media history and the media's role as gatekeeper, exploring the history and evolution of various media, the business of sports media entities, and the competition between them. Case studies examine NBC's Olympics coverage and Sports Illustrated's nimbleness in the digital space. Part II showcases televisions impact on how fans follow sports, with discussions of ABC's Wide World of Sports, ESPN's foray into 24/7 sports coverage, and Fox Sports' shocking NFL deal.
