摘要

托马斯·雷维尔·约翰逊(Thomas Revel Johnson)是19世纪中期澳大利亚体育记者的先驱，同时也是一名外科医生。本文旨在考察约翰逊在澳大利亚体育报道作为一种新兴类型被主流媒体认真对待之前所取得的成就。它还审视了他在一起具有分水岭意义的诽谤案中的地位，这起案件将他作为替罪羊，并导致他被判了过分严厉的两年监禁。这篇文章将约翰逊视为前联邦商业媒体的一部分，该媒体试图建立一种独特的“澳大利亚”声音，支持弱势群体，并努力破坏外来的社会等级制度。

The Surgeon-Journalist: Thomas Revel Johnson, Australian Sports Press Pioneer

Thomas Revel Johnson was a pioneering Australian sports journalist in the mid-19th century who also conducted a professional career as a surgeon. This article aims to examine Johnson’s achievements in Australian sports reporting as an emerging genre before it was taken seriously by the mainstream press. It also examines his place in a watershed libel case that cast him as a scapegoat and resulted in an unduly harsh two-year jail sentence. The article situates Johnson as part of a pre-Federation commercial media that attempted to establish a distinctly “Australian” voice, championing the underdog and working to undermine imported societal hierarchies.
