This study explores how local government interventions, public opinion supervision, and legal protection mechanisms can enhance objectivity in sports news reporting. It investigates the relationship between administrative policies and media practices in delivering unbiased information. A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software is employed to analyze the key indicators. Data were collected from a sample of 280 individuals, including government officials, administrators, legal enforcement agencies, and local representatives, using a structured questionnaire. Findings reveal that local authorities play a vital role in promoting objectivity by issuing regulatory guidelines and providing education for journalists. Public opinion supervision—particularly through citizen feedback—also contributes to media governance, fostering transparency and accountability. Furthermore, robust legal frameworks are essential in protecting journalistic integrity and ensuring accurate information dissemination. The study concludes that the objectivity of sports media reporting can be strengthened through the collaborative efforts of local governance, active public engagement, and supportive legislation. These findings provide a foundation for policymakers and media regulators to develop governance frameworks aimed at enhancing media credibility and reducing bias across various media sectors.
