It is a privilege to share this journey with contributors to this report: many of whom we know well, and many of whom we met through this collaboration. This project requires contributors to work at short notice and with very tight deadlines – during the holiday season for some. In this context, we were delighted with the response to our invitations to contribute and we are grateful for our contributors’ expertise and commitment throughout the project.  \nFor their financial support, we thank the Center for Sports Communication & Media at the University of Texas at Austin.  \nFor their granting of permission rights for photos taken during the Olympics and Paralympics, we thank the students and staff at the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications, Penn State University; Leandro Couri and the Brazilian Ministério do Esporte.  \nWe are also very grateful for the support of the International Communication Association (ICA) Sports Communication Special Interest Group and the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR Media), Communication and Sport Section, for mobilizing their members to participate in this report.  \nWe owe a special debt of gratitude to our outstanding Research Assistants Julia Weiss and Mirva Villa who worked diligently in designing and developing the website and pdf reports.  \nWe are also immensely grateful to our longstanding collaborator, Prof Einar Thorsen, for his help in fixing website issues and logistical challenges that are an inevitable part of these projects.  \nFinally, a special thanks to our friends and family for their love and support in the making of this project.  \nAdditional photo credits  \nSection 1  \nBlind football courts.  \nPhoto by John Pendygraft.
