Book excerpt: This chapter focuses on the mediatization processes of the Olympic Winter Games by considering first, the historical development in "making" the Games through the integration and evolution of television production techniques and second, by following the trends of representing the Olympic Winter Games in broadcast productions. Through these major themes, it discusses the intertwined impact of the social processes of commercialization, globalization, urbanization, and mediatization on the Games. The framework of mediatization illustrates how the media have become inter-twined with and influence social institutions such as sport. Continually evolving through contradictory circumstances, incidents, and needs, mediatization intertwines the history of television broadcasting and the development of the Winter Olympic Games. The era of digitalization is characterized by the invention of social media through which individual users are free to post information on the World Wide Web. The digital technology has been deeper integrated within everyday lives to further enhance the individualized spectator experience.

Book excerpt: Grab your skis, ice skates, and snowboard and learn how the Winter Olympic Games became a worldwide phenomenal event watched by millions. Although fans the world over have been fascinated by the modern Summer Olympics since 1896, the Winter Olympics didn't officially begin until 1924. The event celebrates cold-weather sports, displaying the talents of skiers, ice skaters, hockey players, and, most recently, snowboarding. Like its summer counterpart, the Winter Games are dedicated to bringing together the world's top athletes to honor their talents and see who gets to stand on the medal podium. Gail Herman covers it all in a wonderful read--the highs, such as the 1980 US hockey team's unexpected gold medal grab, as well as the lows, including the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan figure-skating scandal in 1994. Includes 80 black-and-white illustrations and a 16-page photo insert.
