ESPN critique
Sport Media
The first thing I notice when I open the website are the scores to the MLB games. I decided to visit ESPN because that is the sport media website I visit the most. ESPN changes their main focus depending on the date. For example, during different sport seasons there will be different headlines. The NFL goes from Septemeber to January(sometimes February). However, it is not always NFL during those months. Football is played on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday. Occasionally there will be a major event that is somewhat football related on a different day of the week but generally the NFL is only the main focus on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday. Major League Baseball is the major focus from April to October. The MLB games occur all throughout the week from Monday to Sunday. Typically if nothing extraordinary happens, ESPN just posts the score of the games. A major headline happens for the MLB when a no-hitter or a perfect game is thrown. Sometimes ESPN creates headlines for specific players like Derek Jeter. Jeter is retiring this year and has been one of the most famous baseball players from the last two decades. The NHL follows up right after the MLB and is competing with the NFL for ESPN headlines. The NHL season begins in October and ends in June. The NHL has grown popularity very rapidly in the United States of America. However, they still aren't as popular as the NFL whom they are competing with for headlines and news articles. The NBA starts in November and ends in June. Currently, there is little to no coverage on the NBA because it is not the season. The NBA does get a lot of media coverage when it is in season though. In the U.S, the NBA usually sees more media coverage than the NHL when the two are both in season. Similar to the NHL and MLB, there are games all throughout the week. The stories currently being covered are Major League Baseball, college football, and pro football. The main headline story is the Atlanta Braves
