Abstract

This article tries to analyze the position of the newspaper during the years of First World War. When the World War began, the official position of Spain with Dato on power was neutrality. The newspapers, like politicians, respected this decision of the government because besides convenient it was an inevitable posture. Since August 1914 the main focus of La Voz de Galicia went to report on the war, which was for many months the only subject on the front page. Though La Voz was declared neutral, through the published articles it could be seen from the beginning its affiliation with the allies.
