How it will be

A good example of how to tell readers about changes that will occur in their city.  From “how it is now” to “how it will be”. We have seen it in El Periódico:

Wanted

Jorge Luis Sosa: Spanish judicial courts have been looking for him for a couple of years. He lives in the United States and is a boxer. Here he was known as Makelele, in the US he is known as Terrible Sosa (“the terrible Sosa”). Good story and good follow-up work from La Voz de Galicia:

Explaining facts

From facts to explanation. From facts to their reasons. We have read an outstanding example in La Vanguardia

What is published first

Prior coverage to events usually gives interesting information. We have seen two recent cases focused on soccer in Heraldo and in  Las Provincias. The facts were different: The first one, highlighted that Zaragoza´s soccer team had not scored any headed goal yet… and they finally did it. The second one said that Valencia was the worst team from its autonomous region … and nothing changed.

Is it the enemy?

We keep defending the idea that Spanish newspapers tend to approach really well “the day after” of the facts.  Today we are showing four examples. Heraldo focuses on the danger of the civil war bombs; La Voz, on the presence of cetaceans in Galicia´s coasts; La Vanguardia, on kids´ attendance at  soccer games in the Premier League; and El Periódico, on some world leaders´ personal phones.

Inexpensive, inexpensive

Discounts in cinema tickets offered throughout Spain a few days ago provided plenty of pages of coverage to newspapers. We chose the one offered by El Correo: a big picture, simple but clear graphics and a text full of sources which helps readers reach their own conclusions.

The day after, we saw a very similar coverage in El Periódico:

Being up-to-date

We are big fans of the “tendencias” (“trends”) section from La Vanguardia. Almost every day it offers opportune and well-narrated facts that are thought to help the readers. Here are some recent ones:
