Sports reporting is changing
The b4p trend study “Sports reporting in transition”, which was published on April 26, 2023, offers interesting insights into the German sports landscape. According to the study, 91% of Germans are sports fans, with 84% actively playing sports and 73% regularly following sports reports. A striking result of the study is the increasing trend towards women's football, which has gained popularity as a result of the Women's European Championship in 2022.
The study also shows that men's football is the most popular sport in the media, followed by women's football, ski jumping and biathlon. The different media usage behavior is particularly noticeable: younger age groups show more interest in eSports and streaming offers, while older fans place more value on live reporting. 66% of 16-29 year olds use paid sports streaming services, highlighting the shift in sports reporting and the focus on digital platforms.
In summary, there is a lot of movement both in the world of sporting events and in reporting, while the tale of courage and bravery in Heidenheim remains in people's minds. In these topics, reporting not only plays an informative but also a unifying role that goes beyond current events.
