Caster Semenya of South Africa and Annet Negesa from Uganda are two publicfacing women “outed” as intersex and barred from competition by these invasive and violent sex investigations. Well-intentioned scholars have unintentionally reproduced that same critiqued violence by attempting to discover, investigate, and settle dynamic, interconnected stories surrounding Semenya and Negesa. This article responds to the cross-disciplinary call for a methodological intervention in discourse surrounding Semenya and Negesa, particularly to feminist sport communication studies scholars Cooky and Antonovich’s (2022) call to “tell stories differently” (p. xi) by offering a theoretical argument for more scholars to adopt Jo-ann Archibald / Q’um Q’um Xiiem (Sto:lo First Nation)’s concept of “storywork” as a decolonial method. Through an example of storyworking with Semenya and Negesa’s stories, I argue that storywork as a decolonial analytical method highlights the dynamic realities and relationships within stories and individuals implicated within the same colonial assemblages of power, outlined by Jasbir K. Puar, in a way that illuminates specific, exigent experience—transforming ourselves, scholarship, and systems.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144899018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical assumption of the study is that participation can increase the success of communication if it is able to achieve mutual understanding, promote cooperative behavior and effectively regulate conflicts. A content analysis of qualitative video and interview data from elite coaches and athletes in Germany illustrates, through three empirical case studies, the functions and preconditions of purposeful athlete involvement in film sessions. The analysis shows that participation can lead to mutual understanding, cooperative behavior, and effective conflict regulation. However, this requires the establishment of appropriate expectations of participation, a specific socio-structural context, and a definition of the coach’s role. Otherwise, there is a risk that participation can lead to communication problems. The results of this study not only provide academic insights but also show practical implications for coaches and athletes in elite sports.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, technological disruption and financial pressures affecting local journalism and cricket itself have led to concerns the domestic game is now less visible, with media attention dominated by international fixtures and franchise leagues shown on pay TV channels. This study aims to complement scholarship on digital mediatization of sport and media work by developing empirical insights into how English domestic cricket is covered in this context. Twenty semi-structured interviews were carried out and the transcripts subjected to thematic analysis, to explore the working practices of county cricket journalists and other content producers. The operation of a network of written reporters paid by governing body the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is considered, as well as video streaming, local radio commentaries, liveblogging and in-house media. The study offers insights to help better understand how domestic cricket maintains its profile in an era of declining investment by traditional media, and the challenges and opportunities of working in county cricket media in that context. It finds notable breadth and innovation in modern coverage, although it is heavily reliant on both ECB funding and the use of precariously employed freelancers.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In their efforts to draw attention to persistent gender inequalities and to initiate change, they rely on media visibility. Therefore, this article examines how athlete activism for equal pay resonated in the German media. We analyze how often equal pay was reported on, and which events prompted this coverage. Given that a variety of arguments in favor of and in opposition to these demands exist, we also examine the framing of the articles in detail. Our analysis is based on 96 articles that appeared in seven highly popular German news outlets between January 2020 and December 2024. Our findings reveal that female athletes were able to mobilize some positive media resonance, but only for shorter periods and for narrowly targeted claims. A majority of articles framed gender pay gaps in sports as unjust and unfair, but then suggested market-conform solutions. This means that a reduction of existing pay gaps would imply that women’s sports must ‘catch up’ by following the designated path of commercialization as known from men’s sports.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144715280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The context under study is that of elite sport and the role of performance analyst – a specialist field comprising the use of technology and data in the process of improving sport performance outcomes. Using in-depth semi-structured interviews, the social and organizational environment encompassing data work is explored to examine how it may enable or constrain certain labour practices. The findings reveal implications concerning the nature of data work, and in particular how the pursuit of data at scale escalates issues regarding work-life balance. By acquiring insight into the everyday experiences of analysts and the nature of datafied knowledge production, the study demonstrates how participants find meaning in their labour through establishing credibility and a connection to the affective dimensions of work. We conclude by offering practical recommendations for those entering into this field of work that centre on the importance of enculturation and the collaborative nature of the role, reinforcing the imperative that a human-centred approach to examining data work helps us to better understand how data representations come into being.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144715281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
