This article demonstrates how the concept of paratexts can be employed in the analysis of unfolding sports events. Drawing on the work of Jonathan Gray and Matt Hills, it reflects on the “extended presence” of sports events across media, space, and time – how mean- ing is created before, during, and after their apparent conclusion, and how their mediated “centres” appear to move in the process. By way of illustration, it examines a boxing event in early 2023 involving the popular British boxers Chris Eubank Jr. and Liam Smith; how- ever, it focuses on the events before the event – namely, the preceding press conference and weigh-in – and suggests that these “entryway events” were paratextually significant in shaping expectations and attitudes towards the “main event”. The article also demon- strates how sports events feed into wider processes of social inclusion and exclusion, often acting as lightning rods for public discussions of socio-political issues, such as race, class, gender, and (in this case) sexual orientation.

This article analyses sports events as mega-events with global appeal and increasing socio-economic and cultural significance, and as genres which have now become important in the television industry’s transformation from broadcast to online streaming. It presents findings from a qualitative production analysis of how the Tour de France 2022 was shaped in a twofold strategic context. Genre specific aspects of the media event in the ongoing transformation of the television industry and wider strategic interests behind the hosting and organization of the start of the race in Denmark 2022 are discussed and their intertwinements are described. Based on interviews, documents, observations, screenshots and select broadcasts, the article presents a thematic analysis of how the event in Denmark was shaped in a shared concern for television’s ability to provide exposure of the race and the Danish context and public service broadcaster TV 2’s particular strategic branding interests in the event.
本文分析了体育赛事作为具有全球吸引力和日益增长的社会经济与文化意义的大型活动，以及作为在电视行业从广播向在线流媒体转型过程中变得十分重要的类型。本文介绍了对 2022 年环法自行车赛如何在双重战略背景下形成的定性制作分析结果。本文讨论了电视业正在进行的转型中媒体活动的具体体裁方面，以及 2022 年丹麦环法赛主办和组织工作背后的更广泛的战略利益，并描述了它们之间的相互交织。文章以访谈、文件、观察、截图和部分广播为基础，专题分析了丹麦的赛事是如何在对电视提供赛事曝光的能力和丹麦背景以及公共服务广播公司 TV 2 在赛事中的特殊战略品牌利益的共同关注中形成的。

News media can influence audience opinions. Thus, the media have enormous potential and responsibility when writing about societal issues, such as mental health. Mental health coverage has traditionally been criticised for creating stigma, as the topic is often presented in combination with violence and crime. Since the 1990s, researchers have found that more positive representations challenge negative portrayals, and that such representa- tions change the audience’s attitudes towards the issue. Few studies on the topic have been conducted in Norway; therefore, one cannot confirm or deny whether the exact coverage change is occurring. Using a quantitative framing analysis, this study argues that mental health issues were normalised in the two most-read online news sources, Verdens Gang (VG.no) and Norsk Rikskringkasting (NRK.no), in 2018–2021.

When Denmark hosted the Grand Départ of the Tour de France in 2022, the riders were met by huge crowds and a jubilant atmosphere. On Twitter, Danish and international audiences extended this behavior as co-producers of a transmedia sports event of global reach. Using the theoretical framework of a typology depicting four general discursive tweet modes, this study examines the communicative patterns involved as Danish residents shared their experiences and reactions to hosting the Grand Départ. A content analysis of their tweets revealed that the exceptional circumstances of hosting a major sporting event prompted them to focus more on themes surrounding the event than on the actual cycling. A subsequent qualitative analysis of Danish and international tweets focusing on the inter- play of global and local themes surrounding the Danish Grand Départ identifies evaluative, participatory, humorous/ironic, and emotional dimensions as central expressions of glocal consciousness.

Based on a mixed method approach (content analysis and CDA), this article examines the media coverage of a football game between AC Sparta Praha and Rangers FC, played in Prague in the autumn of 2021, that was followed by heavily mediated discussion regard- ing the controversial booing of Rangers FC player Glen Kamara, who was sent off from the game after having been given a red card due to a pair of fouls. The audience in attendance was accused of Kamara’s racist abuse, but the UEFA later decided that there was insuf- ficient evidence of racism at the match. This case study focuses on the media coverage in Scottish, Czech, and UK nationwide media, as well as related discussions on Twitter. We revealed competing constructions of reality depending on diverse interpretations of the facts and lack of intercultural understanding.
2021 年秋天，布拉格 AC 斯巴达队与格拉斯哥流浪者队在布拉格进行了一场足球比赛，比赛结束后，媒体对格拉斯哥流浪者队球员格伦-卡马拉（Glen Kamara）的嘘声进行了激烈的讨论。现场观众被指控对卡马拉进行种族主义辱骂，但欧足联后来认定，比赛中的种族主义证据不足。本案例研究侧重于苏格兰、捷克和英国全国性媒体的报道以及推特上的相关讨论。我们揭示了对事实的不同解释和缺乏跨文化理解所导致的对现实的相互冲突。

The article examines the current challenges and opportunities facing the Italian public broadcaster Rai in relation to global sporting events in the digital scenario. Adopting a sys- temic perspective, the study explores the tensions among the increasing commercialisation/ political disenchantment of major sporting events, and the public remits of Rai to secure them within the current EU regulation on sport rights and in terms of public service media. An historical overview of Rai’s linkage with sports is provided to contextualise the discussion of the online TV service RaiPlay and its current strategy for both on-demand sports content and the live coverage of recent global sporting events, such as Tokyo 2020 and Qatar 2022. The article concludes by emphasising the potential for Rai to enable new forms of engage- ment, while also urging a careful consideration of the traditional remits and values of public service in the face of evolving media landscapes.

I denne artikel undersøger vi danske journalisters interaktion med forskellige grupper, som de udfolder sig på det sociale medie Twitter. Undersøgelsen viser, at journalister på Twitter i høj grad lever i deres egen verden blandt journalister og andre ligesindede: 61 % af de udvalgte journalisters interaktioner er med andre journalister, 27 % er med andre medlemmer af eliten, mens kun 12 % af er med den brede offentlighed. En efterfølgende interviewundersøgelse viser, at journalisterne reflekterer over dette misforhold i forhold til deres demokratiske forpligtelse. Imidlertid fremgår det også, at journalistisk professionsetik, kollegiale netværk og frygten for at miste journalistisk objektivitet er blandt de faktorer, der trækker i modsat retning af mere borgerinddragelse og altså på paradoksal vis står i modsætning til forpligtelsen som vagthund, vejrhane og demokratisk talerør. Dette kan føre til lavere troværdighed for journalister og dermed bidrage yderligere til den tabte forbindelse til borgerne.
