Japanese: スポーツ新聞 - すぽーつしんぶん
Sports Newspaper - Sports Newspaper

A specialized newspaper. A newspaper that reports on sports and provides related information. France's L'Equipe (first published in 1944) is famous as a comprehensive daily sports newspaper. Other European countries also have daily sports newspapers, but not in the United States or the United Kingdom. In all of these countries, there are many specialized newspapers for each sport that are published weekly or less frequently. In contrast, Japanese daily sports newspapers were founded and developed after World War II as a unique format that covers professional sports, entertainment, leisure, gambling, and entertainment reading material. Many are published as an affiliated business of major general daily newspaper companies. Due to the intensifying sales competition between these parent newspaper companies, there has been a recent increase in the number of sports newspapers being founded and published locally.

専門紙の一つ。スポーツの報道、関連情報の提供を行う新聞。総合的なスポーツ日刊新聞としてはフランスの『レキップ』(1944創刊)が有名。ヨーロッパにはほかの各国にもスポーツ日刊紙があるが、アメリカ、イギリスにはない。これらのどの国でも週刊以下の頻度の競技種目別の専門紙となると多数が存在する。これに対して日本のスポーツ日刊紙というのは、プロスポーツ、芸能、レジャー、ギャンブル、娯楽読み物を内容とした独特の形のものとして第二次世界大戦後創刊をみ、発達した。多くは、有力一般日刊新聞社の関連事業として発行されている。これら親新聞社どうしの販売競争の激化に伴い、最近またスポーツ紙の創刊、地方発行の動きが盛んになっている。
