Recommended reading: Fourth estate or fan club? Sports journalism engages the popular

Just something I found when trying to tidy up my review of literature.  I was actually looking for a citation and information on Australian cycling fandom when I found this…

books.google.com.au/books?id=zJMNHctDmSYC&lpg=PA125&ots=cTnZYudsYc&dq=Australian%20cycling%20fandom&lr&pg=PA131#v=onepage&q=fandom&f=false

Rowe, D. (2005). Fourth estate or fan club? Sports journalism engages the popular. In S. Allan (Ed.), Journalism: critical issues, Issues in Cultural and Media Studies Series (pp. 125-135). Sydney: McGraw-Hill International.

That’s worth reading to better understand some of the media back story regarding how Australian sport journalism works.  It puts some things like #dickileaks, Joel Monaghan, the Melbourne Storm controversy into much better context in terms of the media coverage.
