Including the work of top sports communication researchers,
Examining Identity in Sports Media explores identity issues,
including gender, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, and
(dis)ability, as well as the intersections within these various
identity issues. This co-edited, twelve-chapter book investigates
how various identity groups are framed, treated, affected, and
shaped by a ubiquitous sports media, including television,
magazines, film, the Internet, and newspapers. While other books
may devote a chapter or section to issues of identity in sports
media, this book offers a complete examination of identity from
cover to cover, allowing identity variables to be both isolated and
intermingled to capture how identity is negotiated within sports
media platforms. Far more than a series of case studies, this book
surveys the current state of the field while providing insight on
future directions for identity scholarship in sports communication.
