Abstract

The article reveals the transformations that Colombian sports journalists experience in the coverage and retransmission of mega-events sports. From a qualitative methodology, supported by documentary research, interviews and analytical triangulation, the results show that audiovisual production and interaction with the audience is a strong reality, while the irruption of streaming is decisive. It can be concluded that direct coverage on the spot strengthens the quality of information, although the big media are clearly betting on the contrary.
