Where Are The Results And The Match Recaps? Transformation Of Sports Sections In Monday Editions Of Czech Daily Newpapers

Vol.11,No.1(2017)

Abstract

The massive development of new media has influenced the traditional media, including printed daily newspapers. Their sports sections are likely to be affected more than other parts of print media. This article describes the on-going changes and presents the results of an extensive sports journalism research project. The years 2001 and 2015 include the expansion of sports content on the Internet and the development of specialised TV channels. This study analyses how the sports sections of chosen Czech daily newspapers, MF DNES, Právo, Lidové noviny and Hospodářské noviny, have changed. It focuses on their Monday editions, which usually summarise the rich weekend program of matches, races and other events. The study verifies the reduction of sports content, results and statistics, as well as demonstrates a move from pure sports reporting to other forms. This trend is evident even in instances where sports sections have been growing.
