With the resumption of in-person sports competitions, the question of the link between sport and e-sport arises. What conclusions can we draw a few months after the end of lockdown?
Competitions at a standstill. Sports journalism disoriented?
In France, the editor-in-chief of L' Équipe Magazine, Géraldine gambling data hong kong Catalano, justified the newspaper's suspension due to the lack of sports news during the lockdown. For Karim Souanef – lecturer in sociology at the University of Lille – this is a fine example of journalists' submission to the sports calendar.
The author of Le Journalisme sportif. Sociologie d'une spécialité dominee ( Presses universitaires de Rennes, 2019), has been trying to understand since 1998 what differentiates specialist sports journalists from others. He recently pointed out in an interview with Olivier Villepreux for Le Monde that the dependence of sports journalists on their sector is questionable: “I see piles of books in the editorial offices that journalists don't have time to read. There would be a lot of interesting articles to write but the reason is commercial: what sells is sports news and not long articles that people wouldn't read.”
Karim Souanef does not think that the post-Covid period will change sports journalism.
“ The environment is too fragmented, there is no possible mobilization. There is no sports unionism, the leaders are not mobilized with regard to the government. In journalism, the Union of Sports Journalists in France (UJSF), only represents itself and it should quickly lose the management of the press stands of the stadiums, as communication has an interest in recovering these places. It would take a major economic crisis to change the paradigm. Alas! For all the small employees of sport, this will cause damage.”
