Abstract

The mediatization of sport has created a rise in sports organisations expanding their media presence through digital platforms. However, the often-opposing ambitions of in-house media and sports journalism newsrooms highlight a contest over boundaries. This article examines how the mediatization of sport has impacted on content in in-house and traditional newsrooms and whether it is more aligned with journalism or public relations. The study analyses the coverage of both news and match reporting in six newspaper websites and five national sports organisation websites in Australia. The qualitative analysis is based on a sample of 466 text-based stories and focuses predominantly on elements of critical reporting and cheerleading. The findings outline how mediatization of sport through in-house publications is changing the boundaries of sports media and sports journalism. There were often strong divisions between the coverage in the sports organisations and news publications, with the in-house titles usually the more promotional, positive and less critical.

体育新闻室与内部媒体:新闻和比赛报道中的欢呼和批评性报道
体育的媒介化促使体育组织通过数字平台扩大其媒体影响力。然而,内部媒体和体育新闻编辑室经常对立的野心凸显了一场跨越边界的竞争。本文探讨了体育的媒介化如何影响内部和传统新闻编辑室的内容,以及它是否更符合新闻业或公共关系。该研究分析了澳大利亚六家报纸网站和五家国家体育组织网站对新闻和比赛报道的报道。定性分析基于466个基于文本的故事样本,主要关注批判性报道和啦啦队的元素。研究结果概述了通过内部出版物进行体育中介是如何改变体育媒体和体育新闻的界限的。体育组织和新闻出版物的报道往往存在很大的分歧,内部标题通常更具宣传性、积极性和批判性。
