Andrew Mangan: good old Arseblog and the influence of football fan media

Andrew Mangan - founder of the enduring Arsenal-based platform Arseblog - discusses the impact of fan media on football culture.

He explains how Arseblog – an early mover in football blogging and podcasts – has evolved to meet audience expectations while maintaining its own identity and priorities. 

He also talks about the dynamics between fan-led and conventional football media, and how the likes of Arseblog have helped change perceptions of what fandom can be in the digital age.
