摘要

电子竞技的收入已经达到了与传统国际体育联盟相媲美的水平，数百个电子竞技播客也应运而生。本研究使用人口统计数据和25个已建立的电子竞技播客的音频片段，研究了电子竞技播客如何使用同构和组合过程来为他们的节目和类型建立规范，认知和社会政治合法性。我们发现，电子竞技播客的引入借鉴了传统体育新闻和谈话广播的元素，以及来自新媒体的“更健谈”的风格和“播客”元素。与此同时，随着节目的成熟，电竞播客似乎正在远离专业的广播风格，这标志着播客领域独特的专业规范的发展。

Isomorphism and assemblage: Developing legitimacy in the esports podcast ecosystem

Esports has reached revenue numbers that rival traditional international sports leagues, and hundreds of esports podcasts have emerged. Using a population demography and audio clips from the introductions of 25 established esports podcasts, this study examines how processes of isomorphism and assemblage have been used by esports podcasters to build normative, cognitive, and sociopolitical legitimacy both for their shows and the genre. We found that esports podcasts introductions borrow elements of traditional sports journalism and talk radio, as well as “talkier” styles and elements of “podcastness” from newer media. At the same time, esports podcasters seem to move away from professional radio broadcast styles as their shows mature, signaling the development of unique professional norms in the podcast space.
