Topik: Sport; Media; Popular Culture Fulltext: 307.full.pdf (71.01KB) Isi artikel Ten years ago when the first edition of this book arrived in my mail I was very excited by it. It summed up exceedingly well a number of contemporary issues surrounding the position of sport in the (predominantly UK) mass media, was written in an accessible and enthusiastic style that made you want to read on (and which therefore would be valuable for encouraging students to do the same) and had a relative scarcity value. Fortunately, with this second edition the book retains its currency and readability, even if there has been a veritable explosion of academic texts, monographs and edited collections in sport studies and media sports studies in the intervening period. The authors conclude (p. 222) that there have been continuities amid changes in the sports–media relationship in the previous decade. This applies to the book as well.
