"This text would be best used by those already with an understanding of journalism practices and rules. ... It could also serve as a strong second text in a course and certainly leaves ample opportunity for class discussion about chapter readings. The text would appeal most strongly to those who regularly read sports news and publications and are prepared to take a deeper dive into the discipline."

Keith Strudler, Marist College, USA, International Journal of Sport Communication, 2015, 8, 519 -521.
