The Olympics, Media and Society

Book Overview

Fans of the Olympic Games would find it difficult, if not impossible, to experience them without the media as intermediary. This book performs the important task of analysing ways in which the media serves as both an integral component and an arbiter of the Games for society. This book was originally published as a special issue of Mass Communication and Society.
