When I am looking for new-related content on social media, I start with either a hashtag or a search of the team or player that I am looking for. The search bar is a great feature for anyone trying to find sports related content there. For example, I have found some great content for the Mets based on everything that has happened during an already busy offseason for the team. There are a lot of different people that have covered this, but it can be seen by a lot of different sports writers from many different sports networks. By identifying the news sources this way, I am able to get specific facts about specific players that I am looking for at that time. Social media has been a great way for me to be able to learn more about news and especially news in terms of sports.

So when you search for a hashtag or name, what are the results that come up typically? The player’s handle? News coverage about the player? Or fans geeking out about him? These are very different “genres” of texts, so it does matter how we try to differentiate between them.
