A hegemonia do futebol no jornalismo desportivo online em Portugal

Abstract

Since its inception, football has evolved and become a worldwide phenomenon, with millions of fans who follow and watch the sport daily. Online media play a very important role in creating this enthusiasm, as football is a spectacle that captivates people and generates economic interest in other sectors. Football has become a pillar of sports journalism, which consequently devalues and diverts attention from other sports. A Bola, O Jogo and Record are three Portuguese newspapers dedicated to the world of sport, producing various sporting content. This investigation is based on understanding how all modalities are treated or whether there is, in a certain way, a hegemony of football, making a comparison between football and other sports. After collecting data over a period of one month in April 2023, with a total of 12,457 publications, it was possible to identify that football is the basis of these three newspapers and that other sports end up playing a secondary role, however, non-football publications also play an important role in the content published.
