Recently bloggers have become more and more popular this year. The popularity has grown so much that some bloggers request for credentials to cover sports and other media coverage related material. According to Room Eight, a New York Politics site, states “City Hall gadfly Rafal Martinez sends over the city press release that’s the result of his long battle for press credentials despite not having a print outlet.” This is something this individual has been fighting with for a long time. This shows how difficult it is for bloggers to obtain these credentials. According to hyperlocal.com, one individual is suing the state governor’s office for denying him press credentials.
There have been tensions over sports broadcasting between European sports clubs, broadcasters and regulators and will remain tense in coming years. According to Forbes, the relationship between the major football leagues and clubs have become particularly close. In March, U.K. communications regulator Ofcom ruled that Sky TV would have to resell its sports broadcasting rights to other pay-TV operators. However, football has been the main target in networks’ efforts and they have generally been successful in outbidding traditional free-to-air broadcasters for rights.
