Themes at the Olympic Congress |
|
Sports reporting as well as reporting in general has been undergoing a change the last decade. New types of media have emerged, new communication channels that call for on-the-fly reporting like Twitter. How should the Olympic Games adapt to this new media?
And what happens when the athletes themselves become the reporters and sources of information at the big sports events through their own Twitter account. Should this be permitted or does it raise the opportunity for corruption to take place?
There is an ongoing tightening of restrictions surrounding the taking of images at sports events, especially concerning the updating of web sites with the latest photos from a match while it is still on. Does this constitute infringement of freedom of the press? Does the fact that spectators and fans are capable of uploading images and publishing them pose a problem to the sponsor and media deals made with the sports organisation?
Does more sport on TV mean that people actually play more sport or does it just mean that the professional game is better funded. Is professional sport using the revenue generation possibilities provides for by the digital revolution for the benefit of sport for all or not? New Media Age
