El Gráfico

El Gráfico is a month of Deportivas Revistas SA in Buenos Aires issued, Argentine sports magazine. The week in May 1919 originally published as a general Illustrated magazine has dedicated itself since 1925 only the sport, and particularly football. Since 2002, the newspaper is published monthly. The circulation is 45,000 ( 2009).

The name of the magazine is to be seen in connection with their first editions. The number 1 consisted of 12 pages almost exclusively photographs with very little text included. In a time when newspapers were hardly any pictures to see El Gráfico had thus once an exceptional position and was rapidly successful. Sport came in those early days before as well as not. Sporting topics were only recorded occasionally. During the year 1925 some experiments were carried out to make the sport more into the foreground. Finally, the magazine focused only on this topic. Football always came to the fore and more sports reporting is done only in passing.

Over the course of decades, El Gráfico has acquired a great reputation for quality journalism paired also in other Latin America with appealing photography. In Argentina, the magazine enjoys a reputation as a " Bible of the Sport" ( Biblia del deporte ).

Edition El default Gráfico had its peak after the Football World Cup 1986, were sold as 690 998 - nearly 100,000 more than the title win in Argentina eight years earlier. Diego Maradona graced the title more than any other athlete: 134 time he was pictured on the front. There follow Daniel Passarella and Norberto Alonso with 58 or 54 tracks.
