The Future

This chapter argues that the integration of digital technology with sport is fast becoming a characteristic of how it is designed, delivered, and experienced. In so doing, it expands our consideration of digital life toward biological technologies, describing how digital technology is transforming the athlete’s biology and how this changes the conditions of future sporting encounters. It discusses the implications of these ideas, which encompass the need to remove sports from their physical worlds and to relocate them in digital space. Furthermore, it acknowledges how the interface between the biological and digital worlds will transform sports and other physical cultures in the future, for instance, through increasingly intelligent prosthetic devices.

Different Cultures

This chapter considers the different cultures of sport, digital technology, and the Olympics. It examines why the idea of a global digital culture fails to capture the manner in which our lives are organized in digital space. It also discusses how sports cultures have begun to change and, in particular, become subservient to media change, and what this will mean for how various systems of governance develop their approach to culture. This leads to questioning what it is that makes sports experiences distinct and meaningful—in short, their social function and value—a theme that is taken up later in the book. This chapter also explores the societal justification for sports, so as to understand how digital technology challenges or responds to these interests. Finally, through analyzing Olympic culture, as the most prominent example of an ideology-driven sports-related organization, the chapter considers how the Olympic movement has become a central driver in shaping the values of sports culture and business and what it will need to do in the future to retain this place in the sports system.

The spread of digital technology around the world is accompanied by the uneven development of digitalization processes on the territory of different countries. Russia is no exception. The problem of digitalization management in the Russian Federation must be solved by building an effective system of its management. In order to implement digitalization management throughout the country, it is necessary, first of all, to establish this process on the territory of federal cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sevastopol. Federal cities have all opportunities for building an effective system of digitalization management which in the future could be applied in other Russia’s regions without any serious failures and significant losses. The review and assessment of trends in the current development of digitalization in Russia’s cities of federal importance, the identification of priority digital technologies and priority areas of digitalization in them, the evaluation of their digital life level indicates the unresolved issues of digitalization management in the cities under consideration. A competent organization of digitalization management in federal cities based on the proposed directions will ensure the successful development of digital transformation processes within their territories, and other Russia’s regions will be able to adopt their experience in the future.

Depth Interviews

<p>This thesis examined through a political economy framework how New Zealand’s two largest newspaper chains, Fairfax and NZME, have been impacted by the advent of digital technologies and the effects these have had on the practice of sports journalism. Digital technology, falling revenue and increasing pressure from financial owners have all played a part in the restructuring of both Fairfax and NZME’s editorial news operations, especially in the last five years as both companies transitioned to a ‘digital-first’ environment.  Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 senior journalists who had knowledge of the transition from a print to a digital focus. These interviews highlighted the strategies adopted by both companies as they faced a challenging and evolving marketplace. They also underlined the internal tensions within newsrooms between not only journalists and editorial news managers but also the digital and print operations.  Despite the belief that digital technologies would make the print news media more collaborative and provide greater diversity and plurality, the opposite has occurred. Sports reporting remains highly routinised, coverage diversity is shrinking, and greater control is now exerted by editorial managers over the production of journalistic content. Digital technologies have also impacted the forms of content, with decision making on editorial content and resourcing now strongly influenced by data analytics, although there was still strong resistance to greater interactivity with readers. The relationship between sports organisations and print news media organisations, while considered in theory to be a symbiotic one but in reality, is an area of conflict, has also further deteriorated as sports organisations introduce significantly greater control over the media agenda. An element of this control has also heightened tensions with sports organisations moving into the digital space and competing directly with print news media organisations.</p>
