Social Media in Sport
Dating back to the beginning of the coverage of sport in the media, please identify each new media platform ( in chronological order) and/or major innovation that has occurred in sport media. Please address the following: • What is the media platform? • When did the new technology become available? • What was the reach? (regional, national, international) • How did each new technology change or improve the overall fan experience? • Finally, pick a year before 1980 – compare the consumption of sport then to how fans consume sport today. (Research should be comprised of at least five sources; journal articles, periodicals, etc. – Wikipedia is not a valid resource)
