Literature Review:
Over the course of the past couple of months I have carefully analysed various academic sources and have compiled a list of the most valuable to my particular study. I have considered academic literature to be that of text books and well-credited journals.
Football In the Digital Age-Who's Game Is It Anyway- Edited By Sean Hamil, Jonathan Michie, Christine Oughton & Steven Warby(2000):
I have found this book to be particularly interesting and relevant to my studies. This book can be used in perfect conjunction to other studies to agree or even oppose modern views regarding the running of the football Industry. This publication looks at all aspects of the game and pays special attention to key issues such as addressing all stakeholders of a football club whilst trying to balance a diplomatic relationship with the media.

Online Public Relations- David Phillips(2001):
This book carefully examines new forms of media, specifically the internet and identifies how public relations has evolved in parallel to the evolution of new media. It highlights the key significance of the internet to all industries which I intent to apply directly to my area of study.
‘In the past, broadsheet information was beamed to complete populations. Progressively, as more media became available, information was directed to parts of the population....In the internet world everyone can see almost everything they are interested in.' – David Phillips(2001)
I feel that this quote places a great emphasis for the need of internet broadcasting and believe that this will prove to be a key area of examination whilst attempting to understand the changing role of media relations.

Sports Public Relations- G.Clayton Stoldt, Stephen W. Dittmore & Scott E.Branvold(2006):
Although this book was written by American authors, this book does analyse the English media and the ‘soccer' industry. It extensively covers the relationships that public relations officers have with the

    Introduction The new complexity of the sport sector has a strong impact on the implementation of sport products that nowadays are an expression of manifold subjects. Planning, production, distribution and communication of sport contents involve numerous actors who participate in the implementation of sport with diversified roles and importance: sport organizations, athletes, institutions and local administrations, sponsors, media, etc. Fans and supporters are of course of central importance to sport service production. The passion, excitement, involvement expressed by the audience has a crucial role for event implementation and value creation. Due to the importance of fans as “co-producers” of the sport service, the hypothesis of this research is that a fan community is a salient stakeholder in the value co-creation process. This research focuses on a fan community of a specific professional football case, the ACF Fiorentina the Florence, Italy football club - a “rich” example for identifying and analyzing the manifold influences and interactions that fans can engage in with their team, the local context and the network of actors as a whole. The knowledge of this case study has profited from several investigations, research and theses carried out within the Master‟s Degree in Sport Management at the University of Florence. We started to monitor the football club and the relations with the local stakeholders since the year 2003 - after the club‟s failure and its “rebirth” when the team went to an owner that for the first time ever was “non Florentine” - up to the last 2009/2010 football season. To develop this case study a quali-quantitative methodology was used. The analysis of the fan community starts with an examination of the Fiorentina‟s ticket season holders database that…
