Private circuits in the expansion of public sphere: two «beggar newspapers» in Spain at the beginning of the 20th century
Abstract
The Law of Printing Police (1883) favored the development of the press during the Restoration, period in which it became a mass phenomenon. But despite the expansion of public sphere many journalists and newspapers suffered misery: the most common were publications that, like Luz Católica (1900-1903) and La Señal de la Victoria (1903-1907), limited the resources invested to escape the threat of economic ruin. Through the analysis of these confessional weeklies, the aim is to study the challenges faced by modest Catholic publications, as well as the solutions adopted in matters related to diffusion and financing. All this from the perspective that these strategies limited the scope of part of the Catholic press in the public sphere at the beginning of the 20th century.
