Russian authorities have proposed that every region of the country should publish a sports-oriented newspaper so that sports in the country will acquire more dynamism, Gazeta.ru reported Monday.
The article suggested that it was the press that helped hire strong athletes with a lot of potential in order to compete at the Beijing Olympics this year.
It may be viable for Russian media to create a network of sports journalists who will have the support of local authorities and who will aid in providing exposure for talented athletes for future events, according to Gazeta.ru. Additionally, local businesses might be interested in investing in such regional sports papers, as it is a "profitable" market, the article stated.
