长期以来，体育新闻一直被视为“玩具部门”，但它仍然是新闻业中一个持久而重要的子领域。与新闻业的许多利基一样，体育新闻业需要适应该领域技术带来的变化。特别是，数字体育新闻面临着来自相邻领域的压力，以团队和球员媒体为代表，这些媒体执行许多历史上归因于体育新闻的相同任务。通过场域理论的透镜，本研究报告了对47名自定义为数字新闻的体育记者的长形式访谈。这项研究认为，叛乱团队媒体的看法，以前的研究表明，往往被视为该领域的一部分，导致数字体育记者认为他们的工作在经济上至关重要的个人新闻编辑室，但不是专题重要的新闻领域。
Long trivialized as the "toy department," sports journalism nevertheless represents an enduring, and vital subfield within journalism. As with many niches of journalism, sports journalism has needed to adjust to changes resulting from the technology of the field. In particular, digital sports journalism faces pressure from adjacent fields, represented in team and player media, which perform many of the same tasks historically attributed to sports journalism. Through the lens of field theory, the present study reports on long-form interviews with 47 sports journalists who self-defined their work as digital journalism. This study argues that the perception of insurgents-team media that prior research demonstrated is often seen as a part of the field-has caused digital sports journalists to view their work as economically vital to the individual newsroom, but not topically essential to the journalistic field at large.
