Football News is a sport/game related newspaper that usually goes into more detail and analyse the game itself rather than matters outside the game such as racism scandals and dissent issues. Broadsheet newspapers also go into alot more depth in terms of the game itself.

The results show that the four media outlets analysed published a higher number of non-factual content (rumours) than facts about likely and potential football deals, both on Twitter and their football homepages. This was particularly true for rumours about top clubs and their most popular players. It may be that, since these clubs and players represent a relevant proportion of the readership, this type of reporting is more necessary to them in order to attract and engage readers. However, this also means that, when it comes to rumours about negotiations involving these teams and players, the chances of reporting inaccuracies are higher.

Derby Day Delights: High-Stakes Matches and Fierce Rivalries

The rumours published by the media outlets were mostly based on hearsay, which accounted for the majority of all erroneous content. In addition, there was a high quantity of unconfirmed news including content reframed with a false context that ultimately turned out to be misleading for the audience and, in some cases, fabricated or manipulated information derived from non-official or anonymous sources. The findings show that the “footballisation” of sports journalism – an editorial line that prioritises football over any other professional sport in the day-to-day news agendas of mainstream media outlets, in contrast with the traditional ways of organising and telling stories based on factual evidence – is spreading rapidly across all the main social networks. This is a trend that threatens the normal standard of journalism established in ethical codes, stylebooks and other accountability instruments aimed at covering sports responsibly (Rojas-Torrijos and Ramon 2021).
