⚽️ Every Saturday, hundreds of football reporters are sent to grounds across the UK to report the goals, controversies, red cards and resignations… in real-time.

The pandemic has moved press conferences to Zoom, technology improvements and budget cuts mean reporters are often seen filming, editing and filing their own interviews, while multi-platform coverage means reporters must create platform-specific output 24/7.

And now, to make things trickier, football teams regularly give interview priority to their own media channels and in-house reporters on match day... so the competition to get what you need on the touch-line and in the tunnel has become tougher than ever.

So, what does it take to be a football reporter?
• To ask the killer question?
• To scoop a big transfer story?
• To shoot and edit interviews?
• To build contacts and break into sport broadcast in the first place?

And what will that landscape look like 5 years from now?

RTS Cymru Wales presents "The Evolution of the Football Reporter," as part of Expo'r Wal Goch (The Red Wall Expo) a unique festival exploring Welsh football’s social, cultural and political impact.

The panels are hosted by Steff Garrero and Nic Parry:
• English language – 2pm
• Cymraeg – 4pm

On June 3, Wales' leading football reporters meet to deconstruct their evolving role…
BBC Final Score:
• Laura Kenyon
• Marc Webber
