[Air-l] Newspaper talk-backing in Spain

[Adolfo Estalella]

Hi, about the questions send by Jacob Hecht on the
talk-backing, I can tell that in spainish newspapers
it is not very usual.

The main five newspapers don't offer the chance to add
a comment to the news. There is one expception,
http://www.20minutos.es, a free newspaper distributed
in the tube, that is the second most read newspaper in
Spain, if you visit its website yo can see that the
news are really short but there are docens of comment
from readers (an example:
http://www.20minutos.es/madrid/?noti=62427 )


> b) What is the origin of this activity?
Is the origin related to blogs?, perhaps it is a
posibility, but I really don't know.
