Students will examine the emergence, development, and evolution of sports media and how these processes are inflected by-even driven by-politics. To gain a strong understanding of sports communication practices, students analyze sports media output through the lens of politics. Students also connect sports-media politics as they unfold over the semester with concepts from the course texts. Each student designs and carries out a sports-media research project using primary-source data.
