Unpopular football matches are covered less extensively than popular matches. This is because they attract less attention from fans and the media.
There are several ways to cover unpopular matches:
– Text broadcasts: the easiest and most common way to cover unpopular matches. Text broadcasts are usually available on the websites of sports publications and bookmakers.
– Audio broadcasts: less common than text broadcasts, but they can be convenient for fans who cannot follow the match online.
– Video broadcasts: are rare. They are usually available on club websites or on pay-per-view sports channels.
– Social media: another way of publicising unpopular matches. Clubs and sports publications can use them to publish match information, photos and videos.
Coverage of unpopular matches has its own characteristics:
– Limited audience: unpopular matches attract less attention from fans, so journalists need to target a narrower audience.
– Lack of information: there may be less information about unpopular matches than about popular ones. Journalists need to work harder to find accurate information.
– Limited resources: Media may allocate fewer resources to cover unpopular matches.
