Abstract

This paper examines the emergence of fan-produced digital platforms and their position in the football media landscape in what has become a competitive environment for audience share. The growing prominence of digital fan media comes at a time when digitisation has seen a shift in production techniques and changing consumption habits while enabling new voices to be heard, contributing to the redefinition of the relationship between content producers and users that is challenging some of football’s traditional reporting practice (Randles 2022). Exploring areas including the digital transformation of the sports media environment and football journalism in particular, we see how digital fan media has flourished by creating experiential content with interaction and authenticity at its core that is resulting in transnational ‘glocal’ fan identities.
