The Relationship Between Sports-Talk Radio and Local Pro Franchises and Big-Time College Athletics
TLDR
This paper studied the mutually dependent, uneasy and sometimes contentious relationship between sports talk radio hosts and the newsmakers who appear on their shows and found that while many of the hosts have journalism degrees and say they practice good journalism, the sources don't see it that way.Abstract:
Previous research into sports-talk radio focused on the relationship between hosts and callers or examinations of audience effects and behaviors. This study looks at the mutually dependent, uneasy and sometimes contentious relationship between the hosts and the newsmakers who appear on their shows. While many of the hosts have journalism degrees and say they practice good journalism, the sources don't see it that way. For this study the author interviewed sports-talk radio personnel and the newsmakers they cover. Most of the subjects work in the area of Lawrence, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri.read more
