The document reports the results of a survey of 302 people in South Africa about where they heard news related to various sports stories. For each story, the survey asked about the source of information (e.g. Facebook, radio) and broke responses down by demographics like gender, age, and province. The stories covered the deaths of rugby players Jonah Lomu and Roger Federer's defeat, as well as awards, international sports matches, and fan violence in soccer. For each story, television was typically the top source, followed by radio and digital/social media, with variations by demographic.
