SCOPE: Television,
newspapers, and magazines play a huge role in the
coverage of sports events. Millions of dollars are spent
on advertising campaigns to promote a specific sport or
athlete. How and when a particular sports event is
covered in the media influences who actually views the
event. This so-called audience building is a planned
attempt to target a specific market group to
advertisers. ( Yiannakis, Contemporary Issues in
Sociology of Sport) The purpose of this pathfinder is to
serve as a guideline for student resource. It is not
intended as a comprehensive listing of all the materials
available in the library on this topic, but as a
selective sampling of the many types of sources
