Cortney Fortunato Professor Dietel-McLaughlin Multimedia Writing and Rhetoric 8 November 2013

Annotated Bibliography Auerbach, Nicole, @NicoleAuerbach, and TODAY Sports USA. "Athletes Chirp their Objections." USA TodayPrint. In this article, Auebach (USA TODAY Sports) reveals the issues stemming from social media that student athletes face. Auebach uses several different instances in which student athletes have had troubles with the negative effects of social media. Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel learned the hard way about how your twitter account needs to be carefully monitored when the spotlight is on you as a star student athlete, after he got in trouble following an inappropriate picture that was posted on twitter of him participating in under age drinking. Other examples Auebach uses include instances where the student athletes become consumed and frustrated with what is being said about them on places like twitter and react immaturely about them instead of ignoring it. In other instances the student athletes do act maturely and have no reaction to the negative comments being said about them but as a result have to delete their twitter accounts out of frustration. This article will help me as I attempt to show the added pressure that social media puts on student athletes. It will prove that they cant be carefree like their peers and post whatever they wish when the spotlight is on them, it will also show how multimedia can put a mental pressure and added stress on a student athlete. I will use Manziels quote, Its tough knowing that everything you do is watched pretty closely, because Im doing

the same stuff Ive always done Its just now people actually care what I do to aid in emphasizing my side of the argument I am making about the added pressure media puts on student athletes.

Bradley, Ken. "To Tweet Or Not to Tweet?" Sporting News 235.21 (2011): 20-. Print. This article highlights some of the positive and negative effects of twitter on collegiate student athletes by asking some head coaches their opinions on allowing or not allowing their players to use twitter. The coaches responses were mixed, some coaches stated that they think it can be beneficial for the programs recruiting process and for their teams to gain positive recognition, others argue that the negative risks outweigh the potential positive outcomes, most have mixed feelings and believe that as long as it is carefully monitored it shouldnt be an issue, and some say that they have trouble deciphering where do drawn the line in the student athletes privacy, what they should have control over and what should be none of their business as coaches. This article will be very beneficial for my paper as I argue how Twitter can be harmful towards student athletes by adding a sense of pressure and worry. It will also allow me to show how student athletes have some freedoms taken from them due to misconceptions regarding social media.This article can also help my counterargument component of my paper in showing the advantages of social media like twitter for student athletes who use it.

Gregory, Sean. "Jock Police." Time 180.17 (2012): 56-7. Print. This article reviews the moral and legal components of the monitoring of social media accounts of student athletes on scholarship in the attempt to prevent misconduct. The question of

constitutional free speech rights paired with the colleges liability for student behavior is discussed. The UNC scandal concerning football player Marvin Austins twitter dilemma dealing with NCAA is also discussed. The question remains, should colleges censor the posts and tweets of their athletes, and if so to what extent? This article can aid me in proving that social media cites such as Twitter can be harmful to student athletes and their affiliation with their colleges and their reputations. I can also use this new idea that is discussed in the article regarding an app that monitors the student athletes tweets before they are aloud to post them (called UDiligence). This app will show that the student athlete can never really escape the pressure placed on them being a student athlete. I can use the quote, from Ole Miss student athlete Brittany Boome who shared her reactions to the new app, Oh, do they want to be in my business? Boomes statement will help emphasize the lack of freedom and privacy idea and the again that added pressure student athletes feel when using social media.

Paulson, Ken. "College Athlete Tweet Ban? Free Speech Sacks that Idea." USA TodayPrint. This article discussed the influence of coaches on their players use of social media. Most coaches require monitoring of their players social media accounts through programs like Varsity Monitor and UDiligence, while others all together ban the use of any social media by their players. The anxiety and nerves felt by the coaches that a post could potentially disqualify a player, embarrass the program, upset fans, boosters and administrators, and can violate NCAA regulations is passed onto their players. Freedom of speech squashes this idea of banning players from using social media sites. This article will help me because it shows suggests that the best method for protecting the student athletes now and in the future is to give them the education they need to be smart and responsible social media users. This new idea will help me further

emphasize the pressure felt by student athletes, as well as offer well thought suggestions on how to make the situation of social media misuse more controllable and beneficial for everyone.

Hutchins, Brett, and David Rowe. Sport Beyond Television : The Internet, Digital Media and the Rise of Networked Media Sport. New York : Routledge, 2012. Print. This book discusses the influence and effects of the Internet, Social Media and Digital Media on athletes. Specifically this book focuses on facebook, twitter, and (internet/social media) accident prevention. Statistics are stated regarding the amount of tweets posted within minutes during major performances by athletes in the Olympics for example. The article also discusses how sports journalists will comb through the Internet on places like Facebook, twitter and blogs and try to find anything to write a story about that would have otherwise gone unnoticed and unreported. As a result athletes, and especially student athletes are warned to use social media with caution. It is discussed that essentially anything posted on the internet and social media sites can be accessed by anyone at anytime and once it is posted it is permanent, even if it is deleted later, someone will have it saved. Accident prevention is also discussed, all advise coming back to just being cautious and smart when using social media, because someone is always watching. This book will be very helpful in helping me show that social media presents many dangers for athletes, because someone is always watching their every move. This further shows the pressure placed on athletes, that on and off the field people are watching your every move waiting for you to screw up. Due to multimedia there is no escape for athletes from this pressure.

Clemmitt, Marcia. "Social Media Explosion." CQ Researcher Online. CQ Press, 25 Jan. 2013.

Web. 31 Oct. 2013. This article discusses the negative opinions on social media use and the threatening of privacy rights. Clemmitt discusses the negative changes in social interaction after inventions like Facebook came to too off. She discusses what should be left private versus public and she shows the negative changes in face- to- face social interaction among members of our society because of social media. One particular example she uses is the Manti Teo incident that occurred last year, and how social media is a tool for some people to carry out some really terrible acts. This article would really help me in giving a little background on social media as well as to discuss the negative effects it can have on peoples personal lives. The Manti Teo story covered in the article is a perfect application of how athletes private lives are made public due to social media and how social media can be used negatively to hurt student athletes.
