Authors : Elbar Ouafa .

Abstract

This study explores the complex relationship between sports media and the phenomenon of violence in stadiums, divided into three main axes. The first axis addresses the analysis of sports media types (written, visual, and audio) and their mechanisms of influence on public opinion and shaping mass attitudes. The second axis focuses on diagnosing the phenomenon of sports violence in its various forms, analyzing its negative implications for social security, sportsmanship, and the resulting material and moral losses. The third axis examines the interactive relationship between sports media and stadium violence, focusing on the role of social media in either fueling or reducing violence. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of sports media's awareness role in combating violence, citing successful international experiences in this field. The study emphasizes the necessity of adopting integrated media and educational strategies to reduce this negative phenomenon in the sports field.
