Abstract des Autors

The magazine “Track & Field News” (T&FN) declares itself to be “The Bible Of The Sport”. Since its founding in 1948 it has provided detailed coverage of U.S. high school, collegiate and professional action during their peak seasons. lt also gives readers very detailed information about the European circuit. Its coverage of the World Championships in Athletics and Olympic Garnes is also the most comprehensive to be found in print anywhere. The T&FN website reflects the magazine’s mission of furthering the sport of athletics, both enhancing the print offering for those subscribers who sign up for the magazine’s free eTrack service and providing a source of information for those who choose to follow the sport solely at the surfing level. The T&FN website provides detailed information on past, current and future athletics events and about topical aspects in connection with the US and international scene in general. The mixture of text-based statistical, journalism-style and technical contents on the one hand, and photos and videos on the other, is both informative and entertaining. The design of the website is fully customer-oriented with all of the frequently requested topics consistently being brought to the front. The website is clearly structured, well arranged, and its contents is easily accessible. All this considered, the T&FN website is a must-view for everyone interested in international athletics.
