Redefining Sports Media

Redefining Sports Media

This book argues that the examination of sports media within cultural and media studies is organized around more than just a shared topic: mediated sports. What count as sports media in journals books and conferences are extremely diverse; they can cover athlete expression on social media shoe commercials gender in sports commentary Indigenous name change activists and fantasy sports. Besides being mediated and in some cases loosely connected to sports events and leagues it is hard to see what they all share that could serve as the foundation for a unified field of study. Jason Kido Lopez argues that sports media are defined by genre which is reflected in their industries within their content and by their audiences. Throughout the media and cultural complex sports and sports media are built on the genre of live and real competition and therefore to study sports media is to study that genre. Each chapter will explore how the genre is constructed in commodification of mediated sport representation within sports media athlete expression sports fandom and gaming around sports. This book will be of interest to those studying sports media as well as media and cultural studies but also can be used as an introductory survey of the research on sports media from a media and cultural studies perspective. | Redefining Sports Media

Right-Wing Alternative Media

Right-Wing Alternative Media

This book offers a fresh perspective on central questions related to right-wing alternative media: Can right-wing media be alternative? Why do they exist? Are they a threat to the existing order and what have the reactions been from mainstream politicians and media actors?The rise and success of right-wing populism in the political life of many western countries along with several new and apparently successful alternative media operations on the right has caused surprise and confusion among researchers and debaters. How should this challenge to mainstream politics and media be understood? Journalistic political and academic discourse has struggled to explain these tendencies and tend to focus on sensational and extreme examples with little attention directed towards other aspects. This book critically discusses existing theoretical frameworks related to alternative media in general analysing a wide scope of cases to illustrate the diversity of voices in alternative media on the right and highlighting the importance of intellectual coolness and common sense in discussions about this important but ideologically and politically charged area. An important addition to the current discourse of contemporary media Right-Wing Alternative Media is ideal for researchers students and anyone interested in politics and public discourse.
