The research data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 26 university professors in the fields of media and sports, mass media managers and active sports media audiences selected by purposefully non-random sampling method. The findings present the sports media literacy as a model according to which highlighting sports, message content management and including media literacy training in mass media content, especially national media (contextual conditions), leads to empowerment in media consumption, as well as improving social skills of sports audiences.
