Subject: Fwd: Spanish daily ABC celebrates 100 years
Madrid's daily ABC is celebrating 100 years. Next to Argentina's La
Nacion (1870), ABC may be the oldest continuoulsy published daily in the
Spanish-speaking world. (Bogota's El Tiempo is from 1911 and Mexico'
El Universal dates back to 1916.)
ABC has been closely linked to the "monarchic" side of things, others will
say CONSERVATIVE arena. Although many were pleasantly surprised that it
opposed Presidnet Aznar's support of the Invasion of Iraq.
Older does not exactly mean better, as the independent (and newer at only
25 years) Madrid daily El Pais has become the most influential newspaper
in the Spanish speaking world.
In any case, ABC has site

to highlight its first 100 years.
