A Special Session on “Media and Olympic Games”
as part of the 23rd Annual International Conference on Communication and Mass Media
& the 25th Annual International Conference on Sports: Economic, Management, Marketing & Social Aspects
12-15 May 2025, Athens, Greece
The Mass Media & Communication Unit and the Sports Unit of ATINER are organizing a Special Session on “Media and Olympic Games” as part of the 23rd Annual International Conference on Communication and Mass Media and the 25th Annual International Conference on Sports: Economic, Management, Marketing & Social Aspects, 12-15 May 2025, Athens, Greece.
Selected papers will be considered for publication in the Athens Journal of Sports (Editor: Gregory T. Papanikos, President, ATINER) or in the Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications (Editor: Dr. John Pavlik, Professor, Rutgers University, USA)
We welcome abstracts in any area dealing with the link between media coverage and the Olympic Games. In particular, the session intends to investigate on the one hand how organisers of the Olympic Games have changed their communications style and on the other how the Olympic Games appear on the mass media.. You may participate as a presenter of one paper and/or an attendee.
Please submit an abstract (email only) to: atiner@atiner.gr, using the abstract submission form to: Dr. Mario Nicoliello, Academic Member, ATINER & Researcher, University of Brescia, Italy.
Abstracts should include the following: Title of Paper, Full Name (s), Affiliation, Current Position, an email address, and at least 3 keywords that best describe the subject of your submission. Decisions are reached within 4 weeks.
Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized which give a great opportunity to further discuss the issues presented at the conference. From ATINER’s long experience these events bring together scholars from different countries and disciplines which may result to research collaborations and joint publications. These events include a pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine-tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycenae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, a day trip to Delphi, and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit. Details of the social program are available here.
