  • Olympic Media: Inside the Biggest Show on Television
    Olympic Media Located in the United States, NBC (National Broadcasting Company) is the biggest and most powerful Olympic network in the world, having won the rights to televise both the Summer and the Winter Olympic Games. By way of attract- ing more viewers of both sexes and all ages and ethnicities than any other sporting event, and through the production of breathtaking spectacles and absorbing stories, NBC’s Olympic telecasts have huge power and potential to shape viewer perceptions. Billings’s unique text examines the production, content, and potential effects of NBC’s Olympic telecasts. Interviews with key NBC Olympic producers and sportscasters (including President of NBC Universal Sports and Olympics Dick Ebersol and primetime anchor Bob Costas) outline the inner workings of the NBC Olympic machine; content analyses from ten years of Olympic telecasts (1996–2006) examine the portrayal of nationality, gender, and ethnicity within NBC’s telecast; and survey analyses interrogate the extent to which NBC’s story- telling process affects viewer beliefs about identity issues. This mixed-method approach offers valuable insights into what Billings portrays as “the biggest show on television”. Andrew C. Billings is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Communication Studies, Clemson University, USA. Routledge Critical Studies in Sport Series Editors Jennifer Hargreaves and Ian McDonald University of Brighton The Routledge Critical Studies in Sport series aims to lead the way in developing the multi-disciplinary field of Sport Studies by producing books that are interrog- ative, interventionist and innovative. By providing theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded texts, the series will make sense of the changes and challenges facing sport globally.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 5, 2020 Contact: Justin Hawkins at 812-797-7345 or [email protected]. SOUTH BEND, Indiana — The newsroom staff of the South Bend Tribune voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to form a union, becoming the fourth unionized newsroom staff in Indiana. The Tribune newsroom staff voted 23-3 in favor of affiliation with The NewsGuild-CWA, which will assist the South Bend NewsGuild as it works to negotiate its first labor contract with The Tribune’s owner, Gannett. "In the last several months, it became clear that many in our newsroom sought a voice in the future of the South Bend Tribune,” said Tyler James, a Tribune sports reporter since 2012. “With today's union vote, the staff made its voice heard. We will continue to work together in negotiating a contract that addresses our concerns." Since signing cards and announcing intentions to organize three weeks ago, communication between local management and newsroom employees has remained open and respectful. The South Bend NewsGuild looks forward to maintaining the civil working relationship, James said. The South Bend NewsGuild will represent about 30 newsroom workers and be a part of the ever-growing NewsGuild-CWA. The South Bend Tribune is the third newsroom to win union recognition under Gannett ownership in recent months following The Arizona Republic and Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader. Gannett and GateHouse Media, which purchased the South Bend Tribune from long-time, local owner Schurz Communications in January 2019, merged in November. The South Bend Tribune serves six counties in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan and will become the fourth active newspaper union in the Hoosier state, in addition to the Indianapolis Star, Terre Haute Tribune-Star and Gary Post-Tribune.
