AQA GCSE · Question 09.3 · Socio-cultural Influences and Well-being in Physical Activity and Sport
State three different types of media.
How to approach this question
List three distinct categories of media that cover sport. Think about the different ways you can consume sports content.
Full Answer
The media plays a huge role in modern sport and can be broadly categorized. Broadcast media includes television and radio, which show live events and highlights. Print media includes newspapers and magazines, which provide reports, analysis, and interviews. Online/social media includes websites, streaming services, and platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, which provide instant updates, behind-the-scenes content, and direct interaction with athletes and fans.
Common mistakes
Being too specific and listing similar examples, such as 'Twitter', 'Instagram', and 'Facebook' instead of the broader category of 'social media'.
