A Sports Media Campaigns and the Phenomenon of Violence in Algerian Stadiums الحملات الإعلامية الرياضية وظاهرة العنف في الملاعب الجزائرية

Abstract

     This study aims to provide an analytical reading of the role of sports media in reducing the phenomenon of violence in Algeria, especially since Algeria embraced the event of CHAN after the World Cup in Qatar, where the latter painted a good image of its good organization of the World Cup. Therefore, all eyes were on the Algerian stadiums, which were under comparison, especially since Qatar did not record any mistakes in front of internal or external audiences. Through this study, we analyzed a television show concerning the matter, through which we wanted to know how the program marketed the championship and how the media contributed to the rejection of violence in the stadiums. The study found that the program was neutral in conveying the atmosphere of the matches while trying to paint a good mental image in the minds of supporters with good management and preparation for the tournament. It also strongly denounced the immoral act that touched the international player Madjer, while all those in the studio tried to instill sportsmanship in supporters after the local national team lost the game after reaching the final.
