Podcasting has emerged as a popular and flexible medium that allows audiences to access sports news, analysis, and commentary at their convenience. This study examines the role of podcasting in sports news consumption among youths in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study aims to assess the level of awareness and usage of sports podcasts among youths, identify factors influencing their preference for podcasts over traditional sports media, and examine the impact of podcasting on youths’ sports knowledge and engagement. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data from a sample of youths aged 18–35 years across selected local government areas in Lagos State. Data collected were analyzed using simple percentages and frequency tables. The Uses and Gratifications Theory served as the theoretical framework, explaining why youths actively choose podcasting to satisfy their sports information and entertainment needs. Findings from the study revealed that a high proportion of youths in Lagos State are aware of sports podcasts and regularly consume sports content through podcast platforms due to convenience, in-depth analysis, and on-demand accessibility. The study also found that podcasting enhances youths’ understanding of sports issues and promotes interactive engagement through discussions and social media sharing. However, challenges such as limited internet access, data costs, and a lack of local sports podcast content were identified. The study concludes that podcasting plays a significant role in shaping sports news consumption patterns among youths in Lagos State. It recommends that sports media organizations and content creators invest more in quality sports podcast production and improve accessibility to maximize youth engagement....Preview Download Preview +Other Mass Communication project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of social media on students academic performance (a study of students of university of Abuja) »Impact of social media on modern journalism (a study of journalists in Makurdi metropolis) »Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting (a study of Atlantic FM Uyo) »Perception of cyber crime among Nigerian youths (a study of Caritas university) »The effect of government ownership and control of mass media objectivity reporting (a case study of Enugu state broadcasting services) »Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»The effect of AKBC tv peak milk advertisement on the consumers buying habit»Effect of public relations on the consumer (a case study of premier breweries plc)
