These domains are heuristic categorisations because a given SM research setting may involve multiple domains. For instance, an article examining the media coverage of an Olympic Games is set in both domains of ‘sport events’ and ‘sport media’. In these instances, we coded the article to the domain of ‘sport events’ and added a code to indicate that it had a mediated research setting. Further,...

As a result, three dimensions of the football manager ...
