"La Voz de Castilla" and its orthodox alignment with the "Movement Press" of Francoism

Abstract

The newspaper of Press Movement of Francoism in Burgos, La Voz de Castilla (1945-1976), the last to be founded and one of the first in the chain to disappear, was tightly controlled by the Franco regime. Through analysis of the contents of it´s front pages, it has been observed that the intervention by the government didn´t receed during the newspaper´s 30 years of life; although it adapted to the socio-political transformations. The paper went through two stages. A first stage determined by the Press Law of 1938, which prevailed tight control, and a second stage determined by the Law on Press and Printing 1966, that produced a slight informative opening. The study concludes that La Voz de Castilla fully adapted to the characteristics of their counterparts in the "Press Movement".
