Communication and Sport: Surveying the Field examines a wide array of topics necessary for students to understand sports media, rhetoric, culture, and organizations from micro to macro-level issues. Authors Andrew Billings, Michael Butterworth and Paul Turman address everything from youth to amateur to professional sports through varied useful lens such as mythology, community, and identity.

Communication and Sport introduces readers to the traditions and vocabulary found in communication scholarship as it then explains what distinguishes communication from related disciplinary approaches, such as sociology, anthropology, history, and cultural studies.  Subsequent chapters explore such issues as:  fan cultures; racial identity and gender in sports media; politics and nationality in sports; parent/child relationships and player/coach interactions in sports; sports and religion; and crisis communication in sports organization. The Third Edition includes the latest information, updated examples, and new case studies and interviews throughout.
