We're pleased to release the fourth annual Politics in Sports Media report, a quantitative and qualitative assessment of 2024 sports media at its cultural intersection with politics. TLDR-it's complicated (and nuanced [and surprising]). Get all the info: politicsinsportsmedia.org.

The report (politicsinsportsmedia.org) has four sections: 1) Survey data, showing how sports media consumers define and react to political content in sports 2) Survey data, showing how sports media consumers perceive sports media brands and their mix of sports and political content

3) Content analysis of ESPN.com and Yahoo Sports that reveal which political topics are featured in mainstream sports media 4) Case study commentaries that provide critical evaluations of five stories featuring politics and sports. Get it: utexas.app.box.com/s/d4hp76vb05px…
