Journalism is being rethought due to the transformation of the media and the impact of new technologies in each of the phases of the journalistic process. These changes have also impacted sports journalism, for these reasons, the general objective of analyzing four Colombian digital sports newspapers with the highest consultation in the country is outlined: FutbolRed, Marca, AS and El Periódico Deportivo. To do this, qualitative and quantitative descriptive, analytical, correlational, and prospective research is carried out through interviews, focus groups, observation and surveys. The findings identify that the information update of these digital sports newspapers is carried out on average every three hours, the interactivity with the user is sporadic, the production of content is by aggregation with a tint of spectacularism and little depth, the news agenda is repeated, they do not distinguish what is significant from what is irrelevant, news and opinion prevail, information management is similar to that of the competition, subscription is open and distribution is automated on platforms, social networks and emails. It is concluded that these newspapers have modified the participation with the audiences, the journalistic routines in the newsrooms, the consumption of new contents, the circulation, and the rating; consequently, these digital media are implementing a novel informational ecology that is impacting the styles and practices of sports journalism.
