| Summary |
"This second book in the Routledge Journalism Insights series examines the major practical and ethical challenges confronting contemporary sports journalists which have emerged from, or been exacerbated by, the use of digital and social media. Combining both quantitative and qualitative research and contributions from industry experts in sports reporting across Europe, America and Australia, the collection offers a valuable look at the digital sports reporting industry today. Issues discussed in the text include the ethical questions created by social media abuse received by sports journalists, the impact of social media on narratives about gender and race, and the 'silencing' of journalists over the issue of trans athletes, as well as the impact on 'traditional' aspects of sports journalism, such as the match report. The book features first-hand accounts from leading sports reporters and scholars of how these changes have affected the industry and sets out what "best practice" looks like in this field today. This book will be a useful resource to scholars and students working in the fields of journalism, media, sports, and communication, as well as to current sports journalism practitioners interested in the future of a changing industry"-- Provided by publisher |
