Beginning with a theoretical discussion of race, sport and
media, this book critically examines issues of race, racism and
sports journalism and offers practical advice on sports reporting,
including a discussion of guidelines for ethical journalism. In a
series of case studies, representations of race will be explored
through historical and contemporary analysis of international media
coverage, including online and digital platforms. The background
and impacts of these representations will also be discussed through
interviews with athletes and sports journalists.
Subjects covered include:
- cricket in the UK, Australian and Asian media, with particular
focus on Pakistan
- athletics and media representations of athletes, including a
study of the reporting of South African runner Caster Semenya
- football and the under-representation of British-Asians, with
an analysis of how race is constructed in the digital arena
- boxing with particular reference to Muhammad Ali, America and
Islam
- Formula One and analysis of the media reporting, international
spectator response and racism towards Lewis Hamilton, described in
the media as the first black driver.
Finally, the book will analyse the make-up of sports journalism,
examining the causes and consequences of a lack of diversity within
the profession.
