“…Given the stability afforded by working for a sports league or a sports team (Mirer 2019), it may be that in-house reporters rather expected that they could take the interest of the audience for granted. In-house reporters, after all, defined themselves in some way in relation to their closest cousin-the sports reporter-and within journalism, the sports reporter has often been perceived as the economic engine of the news industry due to their tie to the audience (Perreault and Nölleke 2022;Nölleke and Perreault 2023). This close audience tie would intuitively seem to come part-and-parcel with an in-house reporter position, given that they work for the sports establishment (Mirer 2019).…”

“…Scholars point to the increase of corporate ownership in the US since the 1990s to creating a news ecosystem dedicated to producing news that makes a profit (Barnouw 1997). In other words, news organizations have tended to emphasize more market-driven content, the kind of content not considered hard news, but soft news, stories about sports, women's issues and other lifestyle topics (Beam 1998;Cunningham et al 2017;Ferrucci 2020;Perreault and Nölleke 2022).…”

“…No es el objetivo debatir aspectos positivos o negativos aquí, sino contextualizar una realidad que es bastante compleja. A pesar de las inmensas dificultades en los procesos de producción, hay un arduo trabajo de combatir la desinformación y enfrentar muchos otros desafíos, desde una perspectiva operativa (Mair, 2020;Patatt, 2021Patatt, , 2023Patatt & Rocha, 2020;Perreault & Nölleke, 2022). Además, durante la pandemia también se han registrado aumentos en el consumo de noticias en mercados importantes, como en el caso de Estados Unidos, donde el 92% de los adultos accede frecuentemente a noticias sobre el tema, en una especie de reaproximación del público a los medios de comunicación tradicionales [...] un aumento de 32 puntos porcentuales en comparación con el período anterior a la emergencia de salud.…”

“…A lo largo de los años, el periodismo deportivo se ha consolidado como pionero en términos de innovaciones digitales, ya que ha experimentado narrativas actualizadas en ese sentido, así como nuevas herramientas, cambios en la configuración de los lugares de trabajo, en el tipo de producción y en el aprovechamiento de contenidos. (Boyle, 2017;Ferrucci & Perreault, 2022;Morrison, 2014;Patatt, 2023;Perreault & Nölleke, 2022). Gran parte de lo que se observa en las redacciones de esta especialidad en diferentes partes del mundo presenta hoy características de lo que Salaverría (2003Salaverría ( , 2010 define como convergencia, sobre todo en las dimensiones tecnológica, profesional, de contenidos y empresarial.…”
