Sorry about that, Tim — I fixed the URL. (Damn that lousy CMS!)

The schools in Spain produce the best infographic artists in the world. Alberto Cairo, Rafa Höhr and Xaquin Gonzalez Veira are among the greatest at designing animated news graphics.

Once I found the right URL, I liked the graphic. One of the best Flash stories I have seen was a sports report highlighting a particular move in a basketball game. It was put together by a student at a college in Seville, Spain (CEADE, if you’re interested: http://www.ceade.es/) who had been taught by a a Flash disciple. This was three or four years ago, so at least some places were ahead of the curve, even if the mainstream journalism colleges have taken a while to catch up.

I didn’t realize there were two options — I like the one you call the package, with the up-to-date headlines below it.

Do you have data feeding this, or is it manual?

Thanks for the shoutout! However, it looks like the CMS switched up the links on you. The package can be found at http://www.alligator.org/sports/packages/080222baseball/ and the graphic can be found at it’s own page at http://www.alligator.org/articles/2008/02/22/sports/sports_multimedia/baseball.txt.
