The sampling method in this study was stratified random. Data collection tools included a researcher-made questionnaire evaluating the performance of emerging media in relation to the Premier Football League. The construct validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by heuristic factor analysis and hybrid reliability and Cronbach's alpha of the instrument using structural equation method. Data analysis was performed using one-sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance and modeling based on SLPS software.
