Abstract
The sport journalism of the Finnish prin-ted newspapers before the Internet and in the age of cross-media publishing – Quantitative analysis of Finnish tabloid Iltalehti's coverage of Calgary 1988 and Pyeongchang 2018 Winter OlympicsThe purpose of this longitudinal con-tent analysis is to find out how printed newspapers' sport journalism has changed quantitatively in a period of thirty years, from the time before Inter-net to the age of cross-media pub-lishing. The research data consists of the 1988 and 2018 Winter Olympic Games coverage in the Finnish prin-ted tabloid Iltalehti. The data has been classified and measured with a meter designed for the quantitative analysis of newspapers' sport material. Units of ob-servation are articles and photos. A ll con-tent smaller than a full-page have been measured with a ruler down to 0.1 cm.Results show that the proportion of sport pages in Iltalehti decreased clearly during the period of 30 years. The share of photos in the Olympics coverage in-creased. Column space devoted to per-sonal articles and interviews as wells as to opinion articles and reviews increased notably. On the other hand, space devo-ted to articles that focus on anticipating upcoming events and especially articles reporting on past events decreased sub-stantially. Considering the age of cross-media publishing it was surprising that in the 2018 Olympics coverage the pro-portion of extensive feature stories were still rather small and that graphics were not used at all. A lso interplay with the new forms of electronic media was rare-ly seen in the 2018 Olympics coverage.
