Pío Cabanillas in the Mirror: The Attitude of Spanish Weekly Magazines towards his Resignation and the End of the Informative Liberalization
Abstract
This paper analyzes the media coverage that the Spanish weekly press completed of one of the key moments of late Francoism: the dismissal of Pío Cabanillas, Minister of Information and Tourism. This task will be carried out through a qualitative content analysis of the political and satirical press of the time. The aim is to approach the role of the Spanish weekly press in the process of political change, to find out the informative differences among the different periodicals we are investigating and their positioning towards the dismissal of Pío Cabanillas. This will allow us to evaluate the minister as a key figure at the end of Franco’s dictatorship.
