THE SPORTS DAILIES

1:54 AM, March 12, 2004

It's always a challenge for the sports folks on days of tragedy. Spain has several sports dailies. Here's how three of them handled Thursday's events.

El Mundo Deportivo
El Mundo Deportivo went with a black reverse, some news photos and a photo of the beloved hometown F.C. Barcelona team taking a moment of silence.


AS

AS put a black band, a news photo, an F.C.B. moment-of-silence photo and the beginning of an essay on the cover.


Marca
Marca does a fine job. They changed the signature red M to black with a single tear. They added a news photo and four moment-of-silence photos and some well chosen words. The main hed: "We cried together, we will win together." The simple, poetic top decks say (pardon my rudimentary Spanish):


Today there is only a place for revulsion.
Today we must remember the victims.
Today the message is of freedom and life.
Today sport will remain in the background.
Very nice.


Comments
Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.

Hey,

Kudos for posting all of these fronts. It's weird to see them all as tabs compared with all of the US coverage of 9/11 in broadsheets.
