Mass Media and Sport Working Group. In its two sessions seven papers were presented. The different contributions, which displayed a range of scholarly perspectives on the study of media and sport, were related to each another in interesting ways. This was especially true for the session that included four papers related to the Olympic Games. Below are listed the papers presented at the Leipzig conference.
Abstracts are available for some of the papers.
