Most Comprehensive Book on the Media and Sports The book covers so many different areas of the relationship between the media and sports and does so with so many examples, studies, etc. It's easy to read, though a couple of chapters seem to drag a little bit. From gender issues to the differences between athletes from different sports, this academic-style book is worth the read. | ||
