ค้นพบ is a form of journalism that covers all forms of sports and the events that surround them. It is a broad category of writing that has attracted some of the finest talent in journalism. The tradition can be traced back to Victorian England, when association football, cricket and rugby first developed into organized spectator events.

Many of the early sports journalists were based in Fleet Street, and their material was syndicated to different newspapers. This included the Pardons agency and later the Wisden cricket almanac, and writers such as the Daily Mirror’s Peter Wilson and Hugh McIlvanney of The Observer and later the Sunday Times.

In the modern era of internet sports reporting, websites such as Fansided and SB Nation offer writers a means to earn a living through traffic and results-based incentives for their articles. These are often ad-supported, with some also using social media to attract followers and promote their content.

A number of leading sports journalists have also turned to long-form writing, producing highly acclaimed books on a variety of sporting topics. The success of such authors is often attributed to their ability to take a step back from the day-to-day interactions with sportsmen and women required of “beat” correspondents, and to consider the bigger picture. Tom Bower, for example, was praised for his 2003 book Broken Dreams, which analyzed British football, while Duncan Mackay and Steven Downes unravelled the scandals of doping, fixed races and bribery within international athletics.
