Annotated bibliography

This annotated bibliography supports my research on visual rhetoric in sports media and how digital visuals influence audience interpretation and engagement. I chose this topic because of my interest in sports media and the role that social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok play in shaping how viewers experience athletes and events. The sources included focus on visual rhetoric, sports communication, and digital media, and were selected because they help explain how images, videos, and broadcast techniques are used not just for entertainment, but to persuade audiences and shape opinions. Readers should notice how each source contributes a different perspective on the relationship between visuals, technology, and audience response in sports media.
