Dunja Antunovic, PhD, assistant professor of sport sociology in the School of Kinesiology, and School of Kinesiology undergraduate students Meg Messer (Sport Management) and Sam Dreher (Kinesiology) published an article entitled “‘Time to award some medals’: A comparative analysis of Olympic coverage in the United States and Australia” in the International Journal of Sport Communication (IJSC). The article is a collaboration with Kelsey Slater, assistant professor of sport management at North Dakota State University. This is the first publication of Antunovic’s newly formed research group, Media Analysis Research in International Sport (MARIS). MARIS research projects focus on the relationship among sport, media, and society from international, global, and transnational perspectives. One of the primary purposes of the group is to engage undergraduates in research.
