Well narrated events

We dare to say that events are narrated better and better each time in the newspapers. What we are trying to say is that, in addition to the effort of using illustrations, the events´ coverage is completed with the sum of facts and stories. We are going to show two examples from Faro de Vigo and La Voz de Galicia:

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."

Killer wasps

Today´s example is simple, but we like it for a few reasons. The information given is very good, but what we really want to highlight is the use of infographics in this “small” newspaper, El Progreso.

Yarinaa in the first person

 We are going to show a few examples of “the day after” coverage. The first one is a continuous coverage given by El Correo and approaches Fagor factory´s closing down. We haven´t paid attention to people´s statements and stories. Today we want to show other ways to inform about the topic:

Two stories caught or attention in El Periódico. The first one is related to one of the most-covered topics these days: espionage. The second one is the story of a survivor.

We also think this day-after coverage of a traffic accident, from Diario de Navarra, was very interesting too:

Happy birthdays

We put under this heading two stories. The first one, from Las Provincias, tells us about an institution´s 70th anniversary; the second one, from El Correo, informs us about five “happy birthdays” in a geriatric residence.

And now that we are talking about hundred-year-olds, we really liked this report we saw in Faro de Vigo:

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:

Appointment with the President

Just like yesterday, today we offer another well-designed, excellent idea. El Periódico covered a meeting between the President of Europe´s Parliament  and ten young people.
