| Sumario: | Based on the conceptualization of Mellado (2015, 2021) on the performance of professional roles, ma-nifested in six different dimensions: the interventionist, watchdog, loyal-facilitator, service, infotainmentand civic roles, a content analysis has been carried out in a sample of 554 sports news published in theyear 2020 in twelve Spanish media from four platforms (print press, radio, television and digital nativenewspapers). The following objectives are addressed: to know which journalistic roles materialize to agreater extent in the coverage of sporting events, to analyze if there are differences in the presence ofthese roles considering the media platform (press, radio, television and digital native media), as well asto know which intermediate roles are generated by the co-occurrence of pure roles. The results show thatthe most present roles are the interventionist (M= .26; SD= .20) and the infotainment role (M= .16; SD=.20), especially in digital native media (M interventionist= .31; SD= .20; M info-entertainment= .18; SD= .21). In addition, the generation of two intermediate roles has been revealed from the combination of the inter-ventionist and infotainment roles (r=,266) and the loyal-facilitator and infotainment roles (r=,179). It isconcluded that the sports journalism model bases on two fundamental functions, that of creating opinionand that of entertaining, while only digital native newspapers move away slightly by being more critical |
