(**) schrappen wat niet past 2 Abstract Het nieuws dat we via de verschillende media vernemen, zijn niet de nieuwsfeiten op zich. Het is een weergave van die gebeurtenissen. Daarbij fungeren de journalisten als storytellers. Zij geven ons hun verhaal over de feiten. Eén van de mogelijkheden die de journalisten hebben om hun verhaal te vertellen is via de mythe. Men kan een weergave van feiten in een krantenartikel gaan opbouwen zoals men dat vroeger in de mythologie deed. In die mythes komen verschillende personages aan bod, en de held is daar één van. Dit is meteen ook het onderwerp van deze masterproef. We gaan namelijk bekijken of er in de Vlaamse sportjournalistiek gebruik gemaakt wordt van mythes, en meer in het bijzonder van de heldenmythe. In deze studie gaan we specifiek de carrière van de wielrenner Lance Armstrong bekijken. We bestuderen of de fases die een held uit de vroegere mythes doorloopt, ook de revue passeren in het leven van Lance Armstrong. Hierbij maken we gebruik van de indeling van Campbell in wat hij de Hero’s Journey noemt. We zullen dan ook bestuderen of de elementen die Campbell aanhaalt ook voorkomen in de berichtgeving over de carrière van Lance Armstrong. Daarnaast onderzoeken we of Armstrong tijdelijk van gedaante verandert en daardoor als een trickster omschreven wordt. We doen dit door enkele sleutelmomenten uit zijn lange carrière van dichtbij te gaan bekijken. Onze analyse toont aan dat men in de berichtgeving over Lance Armstrong gebruik maakt van kenmerken uit de mythes. Dit is duidelijk het geval bij de heldenmythe, en in heel beperkte mate ook bij het type van de trickster. 3 Woord vooraf Aan het begin van deze masterproef wil ik een aantal mensen bedanken die mij geholpen hebben om deze scriptie tot een goed einde te brengen. De verwezenlijking van dit eindwerk was immers niet mogelijk geweest zonder de steun en de expertise van een aantal personen. Allereerst wil ik mijn promotor Dr. Annelore Deprez bedanken voor het aanvaarden van het promotorschap en voor de goede raad. Ook Tim Hoebeke wil ik zeker bedanken voor alle tips en hulp bij het onderzoek. Uiteraard wil ik ook mijn zus en mijn ouders bedanken voor alle steun en voor het kritisch nalezen van mijn eindwerk. Bedankt! 4 Inhoudstafel Abstract ...................................................................................................................................... 3 Woord vooraf ............................................................................................................................. 4 Inhoudstafel ................................................................................................................................ 5 Inleiding ..................................................................................................................................... 7 DEEL 1: THEORIE ................................................................................................................. 8 1.

  • 'Life Goes On' for NBC Sports's Tour Team
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling ‘Life Goeshttps://www.theouterline.com on’ for NBC Sports’s Tour Team Following Sherwen’s Tragic Death When the Tour de France coverage kicks off on NBC Sports Network this weekend, it will mark the first time in 33 years that an English speaking audience will not hear the voice and sage insights of Paul Sherwen, who passed away in December, 2018. Long-time insider and supporting desk presenter Bob Roll will join the venerable Phil Liggett in front of the live commentary box cameras when coverage starts from Brussels, Belgium, Saturday, July 6. The transition would appear natural in light of Roll’s veteran experience in the booth and rapport with both personalities, and his deep historical cycling knowledge. Behind the scenes, NBC faces a daunting task to elevate its production game due to the expected impacts of Sherwen’s absence. “Bob knows he can never fill Paul’s shoes. Bob will simply have to cobble together a new pair,” said NBC’s Producer David Michaels, who has helmed the Tour’s American telecast since 2011. “Bob’s had a bit of experience working mano à mano with Phil. He brings a different energy and perspective. Bob grows with each broadcast. Can’t think of anyone out there who could go hour upon hour alongside Phil except Bob.” Michaels has an unprecedented perspective on his side. He began his storytelling of the Tour de France in the mid-1980s with CBS (his brother, Al, is widely known for his work in rival network ABC) and helped bring Greg LeMond’s famous 1985 and 1986 duels with teammate Bernard Hinault to the American audience.

  • Vande Velde Admits to Doping Cyclist Christian Vande Velde Of
    Vande Velde Admits To Doping Cyclist Christian Vande Velde of Lemont, who was among the 11 former Lance Armstrong teammates who admitted to doping during testimony under oath in the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency investigation of Armstrong, has received a ban of six months from the agency. In an affidavit, Velde said he had doped from 1999 through 2005 and made regular use of testosterone and the blood booster erythropoietin (EPO), both banned substances, and also received injections of human growth hormone (hGH), another banned substance, and of a banned corticosteroid. The cyclist received a ban of six months, retroactive to September. His ban started from September 9 2012, and he has lost his results from June 4, 2004 through until April 30 2006. Meanwhile, Tom Danielson has been banned from September 1 2012, and loses his results from March 1 2005 until September 23, 2006 and David Zabriskie's ban starts from September 1, 2012 and he loses all results from May 12, 2003, until July 31st 2006. The penalties on Velde also include an agreement not to accept a spot on the 2012 Olympic team. The USADA provided details on how it reached at the conclusion that Lance Armstrong was the leader behind organized doping in the United States Postal team. Thereafter, the cyclist was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned him for life from events governed by the World Anti-Doping Code. Vande Velde said in a statement released by his current team, Slipstream Sports that he is deeply sorry for the decisions he made in the past.
