Sports newspapers form global association

Six of the world's leading newspapers dedicated to sport have come together to form the International Association of Sports Newspapers (IASN), to defend and promote the interests and freedom of the sports press. The founding members of the IASN are the Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport, El Mundo Deportivo and Marca in Spain, L'Equipe in France, Olé in Argentina, and Lance in Brasil. Santi Nolla, the Editor of El Mundo Deportivo, was appointed the first President of the Association. Rosarita Cuccoli, an Italian-born Parisian and a specialist in international relations, was appointed Executive General Secretary. The IASN, whose international secretariat is based in Paris, will promote the role of sports newspapers as a marketing tool for the brands associated with sport; promote sports and reading among children; encourage volunteerism in the sporting world; fight against racism and xenophobia in sport; promote the use of sport as a tool in development policies; and safeguard the ethical and economic interests of sports newspapers. The IASN is affiliated with the World Association of Newspapers. (World Association of Newspapers)
