The rise of the Internet and the decline of traditional print media has challenged the sustainability of sports journalism as a standalone industry. This has led to some writers finding new ways of earning a living from writing about sport, with a number of examples of successful blogs and websites such as BenchWarmers, Empire of the Kop and caughtoffside.

Increasingly, sports journalism has focused on uncovering scandals and misdemeanors in the world of sport. These often involve allegations of doping, fixed races and bribery. This type of investigative journalism requires an independent view uncontaminated by day-to-day dealings with athletes and officials, as is usually the case with ‘beat’ sports journalists. Award-winning writers such as Duncan Mackay of The Guardian and Steven Downes, who wrote about the threats made to him by a senior track official in 1996, have helped to build the reputation of this type of sports journalism.
