Qatar: a World Cup Size Failure of Sports Journalism?
J眉rgen Klopp says media should have sent a message about Qatar's unsuitability years ago.
鈥楾he worst World Cup ever鈥� is how PR Week describes Qatar鈥檚 hosting of the event. The latest controversy was just this week, after the tournament鈥檚 ambassador said in an interview that being gay was 鈥榙amage in the mind鈥�. Meanwhile, human rights groups have been calling on players to protest on the pitch. So how did the World Cup end up being awarded to Qatar in the first place? Liverpool manager J眉rgen Klopp says it鈥檚 partly the fault of journalists, who 鈥榮hould have sent a message鈥� about the country's unsuitability years ago.
Also in the programme, why local newspaper groups are up in arms about the 大象传媒鈥檚 plans to spend more on digital news and less on local radio shows.
