Celebrities, Terrorists and the 2008 Olympic Torch Relay
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CLoK The ‘caged torch procession’: celebrities, protesters and the 2008 Olympic torch relay in London, Paris and San Francisco1 John Horne Professor of Sport and Sociology University of Central Lancashire Preston, PR1 2HE, UK. [email protected] Garry Whannel Professor of Professor of Media Cultures University of Bedfordshire Luton, UK. [email protected] For ‘Documenting the Beijing Olympics’, a Sport in Society Special Issue to be edited by D. Martinez & K Latham 5928 words inclusive The ‘caged torch procession’: celebrities, protesters and the 2008 Olympic torch relay in London, Paris and San Francisco Abstract Along with the opening and closing ceremonies one of the major non-sports events associated with the modern Olympic Games is the torch relay. Although initiated in 1936, the relay has been subject to relatively little academic scrutiny. The events of April 2008 however will have cast a long shadow on the practice. This paper focuses primarily on one week (6-13 April) in the press coverage of the 2008 torch relay as the flame made its way from London to Paris in Europe and then to San Francisco in the USA. It discusses the interpretations offered in the mediated coverage about the relay, the Olympic movement, the host city and the locations where the relay was taking place, and critically analyses the role of agencies, both for and against the Olympics, that framed the ensuing debate. 2 The ‘caged torch procession’: celebrities, protesters and the 2008 Olympic torch relay in London, Paris and San Francisco Introduction Any discussion of how a sports mega-event has been represented – visually, aurally or in print – raises questions of selection, representation and meaning.

Notes on Torch Relay Coverage
Esporte e Sociedade ano 4, n 12, Jul.2009/Out.2009 Caught in the Spotlight Whannel CAUGHT IN THE SPOTLIGHT: MEDIA THEMES IN THE BUILD- UP TO THE BEIJING OLYMPIC GAMES Professor Garry Whannel University of Bedfordshire, UK Abstract As the global mega event par excellence, the Olympic Games commands attention around the world not just in the two weeks of the Games themselves but for several months beforehand. This period of months before the Games begin is often a challenging one for the press office of the Organising Committee. In the case of the Beijing Olympic Games, the torch relay and associated protests made headlines around the world. The formation of the news agenda, the processes of gatekeeping, agenda setting, framing and constructing the news a complex process in which power and influence is unevenly distributed. Clearly though news is the site of a continuing struggle over meaning, perspective and interpretation. Through an analysis of media representation of the events surrounding the torch relay, this paper explores the ways in which key social actors compete in the media to try and ensure that their interpretive frames become the dominant ones. 1 Esporte e Sociedade ano 4, n 12, Jul.2009/Out.2009 Caught in the Spotlight Whannel “The Modern Olympic Games symbolize the struggle between man’s ideals and the reality within which he must live”. Richard Espy1 The torch took about a year to design to the specifications that would keep it burning on its varied journey around the world, said David Hill, vice president of corporate identity and design for Lenovo, the computer manufacturing firm that designed the torch and a main sponsor of the torch relay.
