We analyze 29 articles in the New York Times (a national newspaper of record in the U.S.) and Golf Digest (an access-dependent specialty outlet) between 2020-2025 to examine if these publications engage in journalistic repair and address their own editorial histories of racial exclusion while reporting on the club’s commemoration of Lee Elder as the first Black golfer to play in the tournament in 1975. Findings reveal that both outlets constructed second drafts of history, but did not critically analyze the role of their own newsrooms in reporting histories of racial exclusion at ANGC and the Masters. Moreover, the study contributes to critical sport communication scholarship by showing how national and specialty sport media outlets differ in their reporting of institutional memory and race discourse by selective remembering and reproduction of institutional silences.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"195 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145611000","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}

Through a quantitative content analysis of 7,105 posts from all 20 EPL clubs during the 2023–2024 season, we reveal how resource disparities between Big Six and non-Big Six clubs reshape relational strategies while uncovering a critical engagement paradox. Results demonstrate that Big Six clubs’ superior implementation of dialogic loops, information usefulness, return visits, and visitor retention, validating resource dependency theory. Counterintuitively, prescribed dialogic tactics, including soliciting input, call-to-action, hashtag/mention engagement, and cross-promotion, consistently suppressed engagement metrics (replies, reposts, likes). Player-centric content emerged as the strongest universal engagement driver, while corporate messaging reduced audience connection. The chasm in engagement volume between club tiers transcended content strategy, reflecting structural advantages in global reach and algorithmic privilege. These findings challenge dialogic theory’s core assumption that interactivity inherently fosters relational depth, revealing instead that platform-native fandom prioritizes consumptive authenticity over manufactured dialogue. Theoretical and practical implications of this study were also discussed.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145599927","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 purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of integrating AR-infused gamification, with game-like features, into combat sports presentations on perceptions of violence, enjoyment, and viewers’ intentions for continuous viewing. A between-subjects online experiment was conducted, comparing participants’ responses to gamified versus non-gamified combat sport footage. A total of 115 participants were randomly assigned into two groups, and perceived violence, enjoyment, and intention to watch combat sports were compared between gamified TAEKWONDO and conventional TAEKWONDO, using analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of covariance, controlling for involvement. The results showed that the integration of game-like features significantly mitigated perceived violence associated with combat sports. It also fostered a more enjoyable viewing experience, ultimately heightening intentions to watch combat sports content when presented with gamified elements. This research contributes to both practice and theory by shedding light on the transformative potential of AR-infused gamification in altering perceptions in combat sports. The findings provide valuable insights for scholars and managers aiming to enhance engagement and reshape perceptions in combat sports media.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"187 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145575701","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, relatively little is known about how effectively sport event organizers and their partners make use of social media platforms to achieve these ambitions and what dominant discourses are perpetuated in the process. Drawing on a case study of the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships held in Scotland, this paper explores how event organizers and their partners used strategic social media messaging to promote equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) discourses before, during and after the event. We draw on leveraging theory and a Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) of social media posts by event stakeholders and find that while EDI messaging was evident, it was inconsistent, overly generalized and failed to recognize the systemic injustices faced by marginalized groups. We conclude that, given the resources available to organizers and their partners, greater attention needs to be paid to how coherent social media messaging can be utilized to more effectively address social inequities.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145498990","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}

Such processes have allowed players to overcome socioeconomic adversities and build their skills and experience, contributing greatly to building their career profiles. However, such flows often have exacerbated local sports development challenges in the global south, particularly Africa, and have contributed to the continued dominance of the sport by the global north. This study examines the flipside of sports migration, examining ‘reverse flow’ migration. This occurs when players from diasporic communities situated in the global north return to their ancestral homelands to play for the national team. We consider this with specific regard to the case of Morocco’s Atlas Lions. Utilizing media framing analysis, we explore this phenomenon at two key recent events where Morocco made significant accomplishments: the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Our study reflects the major role diaspora can play in places like Morocco for redressing historic sporting limitations, challenging global football norms, and enhancing international football profiles.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"169 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145478291","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}

This systematic scoping review synthesizes two decades (2003-2023) of empirical research on gender (in)equality in sports journalism. Following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, 1148 records were found across four databases, and 29 empirical peer-reviewed journal articles that met predefined inclusion criteria were analyzed. Data were extracted with a structured coding scheme and synthesized through thematic analysis to map (1) the research field on gender (in)equality in sports journalism, (2) knowledge on gendered work conditions and their implications, and (3) experiences of discrimination, harassment and exclusion. The review shows a concentration of studies in North America and Europe as well as qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys. Findings reveal persistent gendered work conditions, including masculine norms, assignments of jobs/topics, and double standards, which limit women’s career advancement. Apart from that, many women experience discrimination, harassment and exclusion, both offline and online, often leading to coping strategies that normalize or downplay mistreatment. By systematically consolidating evidence, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the state of knowledge on gender (in)equality in sports journalism, underscoring the persistence of gendered structures.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145447126","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}

This study analyzes 2,928 sport communication articles indexed in the Scopus database, published until July 31, 2025. Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), it identifies ten dominant themes ranging from digital fan engagement to gendered discourse and evaluates each by publication volume and citation impact (RQ1). It also assesses how author affiliation in the Global North or South relates to citation performance (RQ2), and whether thematic focus interacts with geographic region in ways that correspond with differences in visibility (RQ3). Results show that commercially oriented themes attract higher citations and are dominated by Global North scholars, while Global South authors remain under cited even within shared themes. Mixed region collaborations tend to improve citation metrics but fall short of addressing deeper structural inequalities. These disparities highlight systemic citation asymmetries that intersect with broader epistemic hierarchies within academic publishing. The study offers a critical, data driven contribution to debates on inclusion, impact, and thematic stratification in global sport communication.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255660","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}
