Son la sombra de los deportistas en el éxito y en el fracaso. Informan, explican, narran y, también, opinan. Incluso inventan expresiones y palabras como tikitaka, que invaden nuestra forma de expresarnos y que viajan más allá de nuestras fronteras. Pero (casi) nunca son noticia.¿Qué sería de la Roja, de Gasol, de Nadal, de Alonso, de Contador... sin ese micrófono con el que poder colarse en nuestras vidas, sin esa crónica desentrañando la épica de sus gestas, el valor de sus triunfos?Alfredo Varona reivindica la figura del periodista deportivo y se adentra en la trastienda de la prensa para contarnos desde las redacciones de los principales periódicos y programas cómo se fabrican los sueños, los héroes y los éxitos.Conoce la cara y la cruz de la profesión. Descubre la relación que mantienen con los deportistas, entra en el vestuario de Los Ángeles Lakers y participa en una tertulia futbolera a medianoche. Envíale un SMS a Fernando Alonso antes de la calificación y entrevista (sin acercarte demasiado) a tus ídolos.

Sport can be a vehicle for the expression of identity, and also a factor in the shaping of identity. This book explores the complex interrelationships between nations, regions and states in the landscape of contemporary international sport, with a particular focus on identity. Exploring important themes such as the geopolitics of sports events, contested identities, and ownership of sport and its impact on sporting cultures, the book presents contemporary and historical cases from around the world, including football in a divided Ireland; sport and the anti-Apartheid movement; Chinese sporting nationalism and soft power; and the role of sport media in the shaping of Catalan identity. This is an important resource for students and researchers working in Sports Studies, Sports Journalism, Sports Management Studies, Sports Marketing, Football Studies, Sport and Identity Studies, Sociology of Sport Studies, and Cultural Studies.

This book explores how cultural policies are reflected in the design, management and promotion of the Olympic Games. Garcia examines the concept and evolution of cultural policies throughout the recent history of the Olympic Games and then specifically evaluates the cultural program of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. She argues that the cultural relevance of a major event is highly dependent on the consistency of the policy choices informing its cultural dimensions, and demonstrates how such events frequently fail to leave long-term cultural legacies, and are often unable to provide an experience that fully engages and represents the host community, due to their over-emphasis on an economic rather than a social and cultural agenda.
