HOW WE ALL get our sports news has changed dramatically over the past few years.
The42 has been at the centre of that evolution. In little over a decade we’ve gone from a digital media start-up – then known as TheScore – to a key provider of Ireland’s news online and a well-known brand amongst people who care about Irish sport.
Our evolution has always been shaped by the feedback of our readers and now we’d like your input again.
As we map out the next phase of our growth, we want to understand what’s important to Irish sports news consumers.
What do you think we’re doing well and what do we need to do better? We want to learn how our sports journalism connects with audiences.
We’re looking for people who’d be willing to take part in a research exercise with us. We want to work with you – in a way and time that suits you – to shape the future of open, accessible journalism.
If you’re interested in taking part, share your details below. We’ll be getting in touch with opportunities from online surveys to one-on-one interviews over Zoom.
Option to see women’s sports or not please.
@Doug Storms: That already exists Doug. You either choose to read their coverage of women’s sports, or you don’t.
@B Collins: what already exists is a way of filtering out sports we have no Interest in, I follow rugby that involves Ireland and leinster. I a have little interest in other rugby news but not much. I have no interest in football or horse racing and no interest in women’s rugby. I can filter out the other sports but my feed gets stuffed with women’s rugby and I’d like an option to block it, like i do with other sports I have no Interest in like polo and badminton etc
@Chris Mc: Seems like it would be straightforward to scroll past.
@B Collins: so why have a filter if you can’t filter out the spam
@Chris Mc: there it is.
I find the live scores option very slow, isn’t working or doesn’t even show games that are being played
@Joe Markham: didn’t even know that was there, thought it was dumped when they introduced the sub (it was flaky then too, tables missing bonus points etc)
