Two research articles I authored were recently published in two scholarly journals.
In its August issue, the European Journal of Communication published an article entitled “Cheering for ‘our’ champs by watching ‘sexy’ female throwers: Representation of nationality and gender in Slovenian 2008 Summer Olympic television coverage” I co-authored with Andrew Billings from the University of Alabama. The abstract of this article can be read here.
Also in August, Ecquid Novi: African Journalism Studies published my article entitled, “‘Black as Kenenisa Bekele in a tunnel’: Representation of African athletes in Slovenian Olympic broadcasting.” The abstract of this article can be found here.
These articles, both published in indexed journals, represent an important step towards reaffirming the importance of sport media studies in post-socialist countries and other “new democracies.” Interested readers should feel free to contact me for more information. Happy reading!
