The Space

Coverage of Olympic Games has traditionally been tightly controlled in order to maintain a spectacle of positivity and success. Andy Miah, author of the recently published Olympics: The Basics will consider how the growth of social media journalism may threaten to topple the power of accredited journalists, capturing what happens in Olympic grey zones and potentially subverting the international view of the London 2012 Games.
