7 Introduction and general media usage trends 7

8 Introduction Definition and general trends Media usage can traditionally be described as the consumption of different media forms particularly mass media. Media forms commonly used in Europe are changing which is strongly influenced by technical digitalisation of media. General social trends such as the individualisation of lifestyles and the pluralisation of lifestyles within the modern society support this process recursively, cause Media are a part of the society. Key terms in the description of media and their usage are the convergence and fragmentation of media from a technical, contentual and user perspective: Fragmentation: Increase of the number of TV channels and media in general, atomisation of markets, contents and target groups are more specialised Convergence: The technical fusion of different ways to publish media content with the internet as a meta medium, similar content is transferred via different channels of distribution, different media used simultaneously 8

24 Conclusion 24

25 Conclusion The general trends in using the media such as fragmentation and convergence are as well visible in sports Sport and especially Football is a strong collective theme and is used by all media for success and in all focused countries. With respect to special features and media usage over the past few years, the Internet is clearly the winner, but differences between the markets were obvious. New media enhances the media bouquet for users and is a competitor of classical media forms. However different media forms can be used parallel and the form of competition is not destructive. TV hasn't lost its pole position and will be as well in the future. Media is then used when it meets established user expectations. Media have to reflect the environmental resource recipient by permanent observation of System and Environment, in order to be able to adapt their structure where necessary ( reflective Uses and Gratifications Approach ). 25
