    Comparison of the sportscasting on ESPN and CNN and sports reporting in The New York Times and USA Today revealed the very high degree of embedded favoritism toward men's sports and men athletes, even at times when major women's sporting events were peaking in newsworthiness. The quantity of gender bias was significantly greater on ESPN's SportsCenter than on CNN's Sports Tonight, perhaps because of the somewhat different audiences they target. I…

    This study used theories of agenda setting and framing to examine NBC's Americanized telecast in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Five sports (gymnastics, diving, swimming, track and field, and beach volleyball) received more than 90% of the prime-time coverage, which set an agenda about which sports were most relevant for Americans to watch. The limited scope within NBC's televised agenda, in turn, facilitated the gendered framing of Olympians through…

    Past research of American Olympic telecasts has suggested that gender, ethnic, and national biases may hide within prime-time network telecasts.

Analysis of gendered coverage showed that m…

    A consistent finding in studies surrounding sports commentary on white and black athletes is that (a) white athletes are frequently praised for their perceived “intellect” and “leadership capacity,” while (b) black athletes are often praised for being “naturally talented” (Davis & Harris, 1998). A mediated conclusion that one could derive from such findings is that black athletes are expected to succeed athletically; conversely, white athletes ar…

    Communist beliefs on gender equality and Chinese female athletes’ consistent ability to win national glory have lead to female athletes in Chinese sports media being primarily portrayed as legitimate athletes akin to levels of male athletes. This study examines such assumptions within Chinese Central Television’s (CCTV) 2016 Olympic telecast of gymnastics, a sport in which Chinese female athletes failed to attain national expectations, exploring …

    In the final year of the 20th century, television's ESPN network conducted a survey that determined the 100 greatest athletes of the 1900s. Although any list can be critiqued for accuracy and fairness, noticeably absent were women athletes, who constituted just 8% of the list. Because ESPN's list shades the way future generations will characterize the 20th century, criticism of ESPN's list is of importance to sports scholars, historians, sports f…

    This study of 261 Black and White participants determined how standard American English and Black English were perceived on 20 credibility measures. Results indicated that although standard American English was preferred by all participants on several key measures (including all measures of competence), speaker dialect did not alter perceived trustworthiness and likability. On measures of social distance, dialect played a secondary role to the ra…

    Previous analyses of sports telecasts found disparities between the ways male and female athletes were portrayed by on-air commentators, but no previous analysis has examined gender differences within professional golf telecasts. Examination of 34,881 descriptors within 243.5 hours of televised PGA and LPGA golf located 2 dozen critical differences in the ways male and female golfers were portrayed.

  • Packaging the Games for Viewer Consumption

    Andrew C Billings, James R Angelini•ARTICLE•Communication Quarterly•2007

    Analysis of 70 prime-time hours of host and reporter commentary in NBC's 2004 Athens Summer Olympic telecast located the degree and forms of gender, ethnic, and national biases hidden within the prime-time network telecasts. Gendered results indicate that male athletes were more likely to be depicted as courageous, lucky, and introverted, and received the majority of the clock-time and athlete mentions. Ethnic analyses revealed that more than two…

  • Clocking Gender Differences

    Open Access•Andrew C Billings•ARTICLE•Television & New Media•2008•Citada por: 8•Referências: 18

    Analysis of all 348 prime-time hours of the 1996—2006 Olympic telecasts (three Summer, three Winter) pinpointed trends in coverage of men's and women's sports. Results indicate that while men athletes and events received the majority of clock time in all six Olympic telecasts, the Summer Olympic telecasts treated women far more equitably than the Winter Olympic telecast. The longitudinal study does not offer any reason to feel that coverage of wo…

  • The Temporal Nature of Racialized Sport Consumption

    Open Access•Kelby K Halone, Andrew C Billings•ARTICLE•American Behavioral Scientist•2010•Citada por: 1•Referências: 27

    An interdisciplinary body of sport research contends that mediated portrayals of athletic conduct are contingent upon the race/ethnic identity of a respective athlete. While prior research has considered how such racialized dynamics become organized, this study extends the research by considering the degree to which temporal dynamics contribute to the consumption of racialized sport. Content analysis of 2,367 lines of commentary talk, enacted amo…

  • An Agenda That Sets the Frames

    Open Access•James R Angelini, Andrew C Billings•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2010•Citada por: 19•Referências: 30

    This study used theories of agenda setting and framing to examine NBC's Americanized telecast in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Five sports (gymnastics, diving, swimming, track and field, and beach volleyball) received more than 90% of the prime-time coverage, which set an agenda about which sports were most relevant for Americans to watch. The limited scope within NBC's televised agenda, in turn, facilitated the gendered framing of Olympians through…
