A newspaper article is the oldest method of reviewing topics in Football out of the four considered in this article. Newspapers can go one of two ways. they will be biased towards a certain player, remain biased and give them a bad image or they can be positive towards that player, giving them more respect from the public. People underestime the impact that the newspapers can have on Football. Newspapers are read on a daily basis and this means people are up to date with all of the football news, meaning they will read anything that is written about a player, and be influenced by this. The newspaper companies have the ability to buy out teams so that they have the right to write articles regarding the team as a whole or the players within the team. For years there has been a constant struggle with newspapers to buy out teams like Manchester United, but they have been unsuccessful, mainly because newspapers are known to be very critical about teams, giving them a bad image.
A type of newspaper is a Broadsheet. This type of newspaper goes into alot more depth,giving you more details about the sport/game itself, meaning you get to read more about the analysis of the game rather than matters outside of football, such as a racism scandal, dissent issues, etc. A broad sheet will usually give alot more detail about the game itself and will analyse the game, picking out key moments in the game. This means that the broadsheets have alot of depth and detail to them, giving the reader a short explanation about the key moments in the game.
Broadsheets do not tend to be as biased as other types of papers, which means that if people opt to read one they will be reading alot more truths than if they were to read a red-head tabloid. Of course most things that are said is the truth, but with red-head tabloids alot of it is over exaggerated.
Newspapers tend to exaggerate, frequently. The newspapers first goal is to give the readers a hook, or grab their attention. So long as you have a huge title on the front page that is short but effective then people will be taken by this, picking up this certain newspaper. The story inside will most probably be exaggerated, but it means there will be increased readers for that newspaper company, which is there main concern.

The red-head tabloid papers (The Sun, The Mirror, The Star) have a lot of influence when it comes to supporting previous England managers. In 1986, after England failed to qualify for the European Championships, The Sun started a campaign against Bobby Robson by handing out ‘Sack Bobby badges’. But six years later, he proved them wrong, and the Sun then heaped praised upon him after England recorded a fourth place finish in the 1990 World Cup. The effect of these newspapers is that they give a bad image on the players that are negatively portrayed in these papers. It then leads to their respect dropping, and also people start to see them differently, and judge them for how they have been portrayed in the papers. It means that a players career could be affected for a few months, if not a few years if they are portrayed negatively in the newspapers.
The Sun also proved similar traits with Fabio Capello. At first they praised him for his flawless World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign – giving him the nickname Fab-Cap whereas now they attack him on a daily basis.
It just goes to show that the papers will judge a person on one wrong move, no matter how much they have done right. To back up my point, these statistics will surely help. Fabio Capello has a 67% win ratio, with 23 wins and only 5 loses, which is far from poor. He is constantly in the public eye, scorned at on a daily basis and hated by almost all the English public. I believe he is given what seems like an impossible task. the only way for him to stay on the side of the English public is to be undefeated as England manager, which isn't realistically going to happen.
POSITIVES
You are up date with alot of the latest news stories and will be getting quite an in depth, informative and thorough knowledge from these articles. This is good because you may get alot more knowledge & detail in a newspaper than you would on the radio because a big part of a newspaper is dedicated to sport, specifically Football.
Another positive effect is that it is placed in a newspaper that covers news stories involving celebrities. For example, if you were not interested in Football at all and only wanted to read about the latest celebrity gossip then it means you may stumble upon the back pages by accident. This means you might actually end uop reading about Football without even realising it. This means you could then read it accidently, find it interesting and then become more interested, taking a liking to Football. This means that the audience for football will be increasing even more.
NEGATIVES
The information that is given in a newspaper is very biased, and sometimes misleaidng. The newspapers like to write biased articles. They will lie on tjhe article. The reason for this is to draw in readers. Although this is beneficial for the newspaper companies it is damaging football, mainly because as humans we believe what we read alot of the time and therefore we will have an opinion on a certain team or player if they are portrayed negatively in a newspaper we have read.
The media can use this to help draw in readers, meaning that more people will read the articles that they are writing, but it is all for the wrong reasons. For the newspapers it is the best way for them to get readers, by exaggerating news stories. This can have a bad effect on football because it will be showing football at its worst, and portraying certain individuals in the game very negatively. This doesn't help football to grow as a sport because the public are only ever seeing the bad side to the sport, because of them reading it in the newspaper. Therefore, people are discouraged to get involved with football because of what they have read, and ultimately believed because of newspaper articles they have read.
