Sport is a universal feature of global popular culture. It shapes our 
identities, affects our relationships, and defines our communities. It 
also influences our consumption habits, represents our cultures, and 
dramatizes our politics. In other words, sport is among the most 
prominent vehicles for communication available in daily life. 
Nevertheless, only recently has it begun to receive robust attention in 
the discipline of communication studies. The Handbook of Communication 
and Sport attends to the recent and rapid growth of scholarship in 
communication and media studies that features sport as a central site of 
inquiry. The book attempts to capture a full range of methods, theories, 
and topics that have come to define the subfield of "communication and 
sport" or "sports communication." It does so by emphasizing four primary 
features. First, it foregrounds "communication" as central to the study 
of sport. This emphasis helps to distinguish the book from collections 
in related disciplines such as sociology, and also points readers beyond 
media as the primary or only context for understanding the relationship 
between communication and sport. Thus, in addition to studies of media 
effects, mediatization, media framing, and more, readers will also 
engage with studies in interpersonal, intercultural, organizational, and 
rhetorical communication. Second, the handbook presents an array of 
methods, theories, and topics in the effort to chart a comprehensive 
landscape of communication and sport scholarship. Thus, readers will 
benefit from empirical, interpretive, and critical work, and they will 
also see studies drawing on varied texts and sites of inquiry. Third, 
the Handbook of Communication and Sport includes a broad range of 
scholars from around the world. It is therefore neither European nor 
North American in its primary focus. In addition, the book includes 
contributors from commonly under-represented regions in Asia, Africa, 
and South America. Fourth, the handbook aims to account for both 
historical trajectories and contemporary areas of interest. In this way, 
it covers the central topics, debates, and perspectives from the past 
and also suggests continued and emerging pathways for the future. 
Collectively, the Handbook of Communication and Sport aspires to provide 
scholars and students in communication and media studies with the most 
comprehensive assessment of the field available.
