When the sports editor of a daily newspaper used to hand out copies of Football Pink after a match, it was their only chance to tell fans about the latest developments in their club. Now, social media platforms show goals within seconds of them being scored and fan-focused digital media such as The Anfield Wrap and Stoke City’s Oatcake fanzine are competing for the attention of fans, who no longer expect to find all of their club news on the front page of their paper. This has changed the way that sports journalists work; they now focus more on the stream than on their notebooks.

There is much debate about how sports journalism should be conducted. Some academics point out that some of the practices of sports journalists are problematic, such as relying on celebrity or slo-mo cameras to grab audience interest; making unsubstantiated claims about a player’s injury (eg that he has a torn anterior cruciate ligament) and using language that only dedicated sport fans would understand (“heave” instead of the technical term for the knee, which is an ACL). Other critics question whether a focus on the ‘bad boys’ of sport, who do things like use banned drugs and make ‘controversial’ decisions, gives sport a bad name.
