Abstract
El periodismo especializado, donde están insertas la prensa económica y deportiva, irrumpió a mediados del siglo XX: una época en la que se produjeron profundas transformaciones en las empresas periodísticas, que no solo
respondían a sustanciales cambios en sus modelos empresariales, sino también a una fuerte competencia entre todos los grupos mediáticos de entonces. Hoy en día, la prensa especializada española, fundamentalmente la deportiva y la económica, atraviesa el mismo declive en difusión y venta de diarios que la denominada “prensa de referencia”. Y, al igual que sucede con el conjunto de la prensa en España, tampoco parece haber sido inmune –a pesar de su mayor capacidad para crear valor de marca– a las complejidades de la digitalización, la crisis económica y los cambios de hábitos de los lectores. Con esta hipótesis de partida, esta investigación se fundamenta, metodológicamente, en el estudio de casos múltiples y en la correlación cuantitativa. Su conclusión es que una salida viable para la prensa deportiva solo puede ser posible si los protagonistas de este mercado son capaces de reformular su modelo de negocio y, al mismo tiempo, establecer alianzas estratégicas con medios de diferentes áreas geográficas. Por su parte, la prensa económica debería seguir aprovechando su valor añadido para la toma de decisiones empresariales y de inversión, y garantizarse así audiencias cualitativamente importantes.
Specialized journalism, where the daily economic and sports press are inserted, erupted in the middle of the 20th century: a time in which profound transformations took place in journalistic companies, which not only responded to the change in models, but also to strong competition. Today, in Spain, the specialized press, mainly the sport press and the economic one, is going through the same decline in spreading and sales of newspapers as the so-called “reference press”. As in the case of the whole Spanish press, it does not seem to have been immune –despite its increased brand building– to the difficulties of digitization, the economic crisis as well as the changing habits of readers. According to this initial hypothesis, this research is methodologically based on a multiple case study along with quantitative correlation. It can be concluded that a feasible solution for the sports press could only be possible if leaders are able to reformulate their business model and, at the same time, to build strategic alliances with the media from different geographical areas. Meanwhile, the economic press will have (to continue) to leverage its value for making business and investment decisions to ensure qualitatively important audiences.
