Eventually, it will consider other models in the entertainment industry and provide a better internationalization strategy. Moreover, the aim of this project also focuses on getting a complete understanding of how this process it’s occurring, where it’s occurring and why. Furthermore, the goal is to be able to have a clear idea on La Liga internationalization plan and how it’s going to result in the future and finally, the end objective will be to determinate if La Liga can become the main option for the consumers of entertainment all around the world and then, provide different proposals on how they could expand internationally with an innovative and digital strategy that could potentially make them the first option. 4 Internationalisation of La Liga Guillermo Ordoñez & Nicolás Larrosa Executive Summary This management case investigates the current situation of LaLiga and their expansion strategies around the globe. Moreover, digs forward the understanding of what is LaLiga doing now, and how it can improve the different aspects to make it the best league and the best source of entertainment in the world. To achieve this, different topics have been analyzed, studied and opinions have been heard. In terms of why, it’s because there is an existing potential in sports, mainly in football, and La Liga is one of the top players. Therefore, some things need to change, things that are changing and of course, things that need to keep be working like they are. Moreover, this management case, mainly it’s based on how to improve this existing organization and how can they implement other ideas form different sources of entertainment. To do that, there has been comparison done with other big football leagues like the Premier League or even with sports like UFC or the NBA. In summary, after the whole recompilations of information, this management case gives out a proposal on how LaLiga could do things differently to become the first option regarding entertainment. The proposal is based mainly on social media strategies and how they can increase their monetize rate since it’s one of their main problems. Also, it tries to help in terms of the overall strategies and give an idea of what the future markets of this sport are. Finally, it’s important to say that even though LaLiga can always improve become better as a brand and as an organization, they still are one of the main sources of entertainment that people follow and that it’s been improving and escalating positions in this infinite race that is the entrainment. 5 Internationalisation of La Liga Guillermo Ordoñez & Nicolás Larrosa Table of Contents 1.Introduction ................................................................................................................... 8 2.

  • Basque Country: the Spain Internationals Playing for a Different
    Basque Country: The Spain internationals playing for a different team - BBC Sport 11/11/18, 717 AM Basque Country: The Spain internationals playing for a different team By Matt Davis BBC Sport Aritz Aduriz (second from left) in the Basque Country strip Spain's oldest goalscorer Aritz Aduriz played in an international friendly on Friday - but not for Spain. The 37-year-old captained a Basque Country team that also featured fellow Spain internationals Inaki Williams, Inigo Martinez and Asier Illarramendi against Venezuela - the world's 32nd best side. As they are not an 'official' team, they are not part of Fifa's rankings - but they still won 4-2 in front of a crowd of 15,000 at Alaves' Mendizorrotza stadium https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45834955 Page 1 of 5 Basque Country: The Spain internationals playing for a different team - BBC Sport 11/11/18, 717 AM in Vitoria-Gasteiz. "To be able to become official, it is necessary to show that you have a team capable of competing in international tournaments," said coach Mikel Etxarri. The squad is selected from players born in the autonomous region in northern Spain, as well as the neighbouring regions of Navarre and the French Basque Country. The Basque Country has a large degree of self-rule, its own language and cultural traditions, and Basque Football Federation general secretary Kepa Allica said Friday's match, their first since December 2016, was "more than a game". Players can play for both Spain and the Basque Country because the latter is not affiliated with Fifa or Uefa, but that is their ultimate goal.

    Alfred Finnbogason se marcha cedido al Olympiacos Publicado por: Iker julio 25, 2015 0 El delantero islandés de la Real Sociedad Alfred Finnbogason se marchará cedido al Olympiacos griego con opción de compra para los helenos. El Olympiacos se reserva una opción de compra por 4,5 millones de euros si quiere hacerse con el jugador en propiedad. Para la cesión durante la temporada 2015/2016 el conjunto griego abonará a la Real Sociedad la cantidad de medio millón de euros. A falta únicamente de que el jugador pase el reconocimiento médico, la firma del contrato de cesión se producirá inmediatamente. Mañana mismo viajará Finnbogason a Atenas y pronto se anunciará de forma oficial la cesión del jugador, aunque la entidad txuri urdin ya ha reconocido el acuerdo verbal al que se ha llegado con Olympiacos. La salida de Alfred Finnbogason provoca que Moyes tenga que decidirse y perfilar el equipo durante las próximas semanas. Parece inminente la llegada de un delantero centro nato del gusto del escocés, los nombres que saltan a la palestra son múltiples, por lo que tendremos que esperar. De esta manera, además de un delantero centro, se cree que la Real podría incorporar un nuevo hombre de banda que sea veloz, requisito imprescindible para Moyes.

Susana Herrera Damas [C.V.] Professor - Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, UC3M - [email protected] Abstract: In the area of journalistic ethics, there is very little exhaustive fieldwork on group behaviour in the processes for obtaining information, much less on media harassment of public figures and the ethical evaluation of the professionals themselves. In-depth interviews (30) and surveys of media professionals (410) indicate that journalists in Madrid show themselves largely in favour of harassment of politicians currently in office. Supporters and detractors of pursuing celebrities who sell exclusives are divided in equal numbers. On the other hand, those surveyed overwhelmingly reject the persecution of members of the royal family, especially their relatives, and are against the hounding of relevant personalities who do not trade in their private lives.
