near daily coverage by a team of reporters led by Vicente Zabala de la Serna (in the "toros" section)
Daily from Salamanca with frequent, local taurine news from a team led by Pablo Pastor.
Major Mexican newspaper with occasional taurine coverage, mostly focused on Mexican events
Arguably the most important weekly taurine magazine in Spain. Website contains brief news items and an overview of each issue's contents.
daily from Medellín -- coverage intermittent, mostly focused on local bullfights and nigh-profile appearances of Colombians abroad
Major daily from Lima with daily taurine stories during Lima's short end-of-year feria, and a smattering at other times
Major daily from Quito with daily taurine stories during the late-fall feria, and a smattering throughout the year
Daily with large archive searchable on-line, with local focus on Asturias.
Odd source, an RC run radio network whose website contains daily, brief coverage of taurine news from around the world.
also called Diario Correo -- Daily from Lima with taurine coverage by Pablo Javier Gómez Debarbieri in the "toros" section -- limited usually to Lima's short end-of-year
feria season.
daily with more local than international taurine coverage
daily with good coverage of major iberian events and a special focus on Vizcaya, La Rioja and Guipúzcoa by a team headed by Pedro Mari Azofra (heaviest on Sundays)
Commentaries (and more) by a scion of the well-known Spanish Cossío (Los Toros, encyclopedia) lineage, largely limited to events in and around Sevilla
occasional stories in the "deportes" section -- focusing primarily on Mexican events and appearances of Mexican toreros abroad

EL DÍA DE CÓRDOBA

See also "Grupo Joly", below -- near daily coverage (toros and "cultura" sections) with local focus on Córdoba.
See also "Grupo Joly", below -- near daily coverage in the toros and "ocio y cultura " sections.
Probably the most fecund source for taurine news focused on, but not limited to, Córdoba.
occasional coverage of major events during the more active parts of the iberian temporada ("toros" section -- icon in left-side menu column)
See also "Grupo Joly", below -- near daily coverage in the toros and "ocio y cultura " sections.
Basque Country daily with good local taurine coverage by Koldo Larrea and others.
See also "Grupo Joly", below -- near daily coverage in the toros and "cultura" sections.

daily from Bogotá with coverage of major events country-wide, but primarily focusing on the capital city
National sports periodical with huge circulation across Mexico. Daily taurine coverage (arguably the most consistently so in Mexico) by a team led by Horacio Soto Castro and Miguel Ángel García (in the "toros" section) and additional opinion pieces in the "columnas" section
See also "Grupo Joly", below -- near daily coverage in the toros and "ocio y cultura " sections.
If El Comercio (above) is the New York Times of Perú, it has been suggested that this is Lima's analog to the NY Daily News -- look for a "toros" section, not available daily
No better coverage of events along the México/US frontera, and some of major stories from the rest of the country (all in the "deportes" section)
See also "Grupo Joly", below -- near daily coverage in the toros and "ocio y cultura" section.
This publishing conglomerate has a number of dailies that appear across Spain. As might be expected, all papers in the group tend to report identically stories of national or international interest. Each, however, may report local stories not covered by the others.
Good coverage of events in Quito and of toreros from Ecuador appearing abroad. Spotty coverage of events in other parts of the country
coverage in the "cultura" and "deportes" sections of events in Quito, occasional stories from elsewhere in the country (e.g., Ambato) and when toreros from Ecuador appear abroad
Daily from Extremadura with large archive searchable on-line.
See also "Grupo Joly", above -- near daily coverage in the toros and "ocio y cultura" sections.
Daily with large archive searchable on-line, with local focus on Almería, Granada, and Jaén.
Important, independent daily from Madrid, with taurine commentary by Pedro Javier Cáceres.
Articles appear irregularly in this daily whose local focus is Guadalajara.
possibly the most well-respected left-of-center daily in the country with regular taurine coverage (most reliably on Mondays and Sundays) in the "opinion" and "deportes" sections
Taurine articles appear on Mondays, in this publication whose local focus is Puebla and Tlaxcala
See also "Grupo Joly", above -- near daily coverage in the toros and "ocio y cultura" sections.
Once a useful source for taurine news from Venezuela, but no longer.  The site now posts only occasional stories in its "otros deportes -- toros" section (stories usually undated w/o byline), but provides no predictable, reliable coverage.
near-daily coverage in the "cultura" section during the iberian temporada
Daily with large archive searchable on-line, with local focus on Castilla y Leon..
daily with good, regular coverage of events in Venezuela, written primarily by Pepe Ventolera
OPINIONyTOROS
"Un compromiso con el aficionado y la verdad" (a meeting between aficionados and the truth) -- good selection of commentary from first-rate correspondents in all taurine countries, the big and the small
One of Spain's major daily newspapers. Very good coverage of the Spanish temporada.
Daily with large archive searchable on-line, with local focus on Valencia, Alicante, and Castellón.
major daily with regular coverage during the iberian temporada ("toros"section), sporadic the rest of the year
taurine articles (on Mondays in the "espectaculos" section of the "periodico"), usually by Maria Almudena Hernández Pérez
Brief coverage of taurine events in and around Seville
Personal commentary / opinion by the well-known Spanish taurine journalist,

The largest weekly Portuguese newspaper in Canada, includes a "Tauromaquia" section most Thursdays -- including coverage of Canadian bullfights and those in California (all typically conducted in the style common to Portugal)
Daily with large archive searchable on-line, with local focus on Málaga.
Easily the best sites for information about taurine events in Portugal. Occasional articles in Spanish but the great majority in Portuguese. Articles are often generously-stuffed with photographs.
occasioal stories (usually from the wire service, Notimex) about important events in Mexican plazas and the foreign appearances of Mexican toreros
an important Colombian daily with taurine stories that can appear most anywhere in the paper -- best to use their search utility if you haven't time to cull through the whole paper
Near daily coverage from journalists in every corner of the mundo taurino.
daily with regular coverage during the iberian temporada, little at other times
once a regular outlet for taurine news, but now contains minimal coverage
Barcelona daily that no longer has regular taurine content. It is retained in this list, however, for want of a better source of local coverage. Best to use the site's search utility to locate articles.
Daily with large archive searchable on-line, with local focus on Murcia.
Daily with large archive searchable on-line, with local focus on Cádiz.
