Same town,two police

In Navarre, for weeks, a rumor has been circulating: local police will fit in Regional Police ("Policía Foral"). Natxo Gutiérrez is the author of this outstanding feature (in base and form) in Diario de Navarra: how is the day-to-day for both police in the town of Sangüesa.

Where people are (1)

Simple but convenient comparison in Heraldo. The two pictures speak for themselves. 

White glove test

If a white glove test does not lie, neither does comparison. We love this strategy to tell. We have found three good examples in  La Voz de Galicia, Las Provincias and El Periódico: 

First Ladies

The story leaked out: it seems the President of France and an actress get along with each other more than well. On Tuesday, he spoke in front of thousands of journalists. He barely touched the theme. The information published by El Periódico is very correct: in addition to narrating what Hollande said about that topic and others, it offers a very interesting text box about the role of First Ladies in various countries.

Thinking about citizens

Two new examples of resorting to comparisons. They are from El Periódico and El Correo. Very complete. Some themes, dealt with in this manner, are interesting and help the reader.

Citizens are also helped when, in specific themes, service information is added to facts, resulting even more efficient when a simple graph is used. The example is from Diario de Navarra:

Cotton doesn´t lie

And the comparison less so. It has always been said that the journalistic flow is like the bullet of a newspaper, the most powerful weapon for transmitting opinion. Comparison is information´s shot: always well-aimed. Let´s see a few examples from La Voz de Galicia. The first one shows though a simple graphic the differences between airplanes´ seats. The second one uses pictures to show a storm´s before and after.

In El Norte de Castilla we find another example. It is a more “complex” one: It tries to compare the different heights in Valladolid. Eloy de la Pisa, journalist, tells us about this good topic:  “I always use the Pisuegra river a guide. I say that I go up or down depending on if I´m upstream or downstream, but I have lately seen that this guide is not as reliable as I thought. There are areas downstream that are higher than others upstream, because everything depends on the depth reached by the riverbed. Passionate theme for those fresh-air freaks like me."

Leisure yes, business…

Outstanding report: Hoy, with facts, shows how many distinguished, wealthy Spaniards have a ranch in the region of Extremadura but do their business outside.

The same day, we saw an excellent report in the newspaper:
