dc.description.abstract | Sports journalism has been characterized by a series of ethical deficiencies that have
challenged the normative standards of the profession. These widespread questionable
practices include the blurring of the frontiers between journalistic genres; the
pervasiveness of rumour; sensationalism; the use of warlike language; the inequalities in
relation to gender, race and disability and the lack of variation in the news sources
employed. All these ethical shortcomings have diminished the credibility of the
professionals working in the sports journalism field. To address these ethical
shortcomings, sports journalists must gain awareness of their accountability to answer for
their practice to society at large. Accountability instruments can play an invaluable role in
offering guidance and helping journalists and users monitor and criticize the quality of
sports content. Thus far, the majority of studies on accountability have focused on the
description of traditional and innovative tools but no study to date has provided a map of
the existing instruments in sports journalism. To fill this gap, the objective of this
investigation has been to identify and analyse the most relevant accountability instruments
in sports journalism. The fieldwork consisted of monitoring the internet during a
timeframe of 18 months (October 2015 – March 2017) to locate the most relevant
instruments in the field. Once these were identified, the researchers proceeded to examine
them using the qualitative content analysis technique. Among the instruments that have
been implemented within companies, we highlight the ones produced inside the media (in-house stylebooks promoted by major sports media, recommendations for sports journalists
in news agencies and general information outlets, ombudsmen and online chats), and
instruments produced outside media companies (external codes, recommendations issued
by key stakeholders in the world of sport, the largest publications related to media
criticism, as well as several scholars’ and citizens’ blogs).All these instruments are
compiled on the platform “Accountable Sports Journalism”. | es |
