Abstract
In India's thriving newspaper industry, the publishing approach differs from Western markets suffering from falling circulation and advertising revenue. Throughout the world, contemporary organizations have more dissemination options than traditional print deadlines, and must decide whether to adopt innovations such as web-first publishing. In this environment, it is valuable to explore how Indian broadsheets and other quality publications, through the sports departments of these titles, are accommodating this online transition. This is achieved through a mixed-methods approach combining 36 in-depth interviews with sports journalists and a content analysis of 3194 print and web articles. At national and organizational levels, the results show that while newspapers remain dominant in India, there are signs that online publishing is gaining a foothold.
