The origin of the newspaper Las Noticias: its foundation and first years
Abstract
Although in recent years research on the history of journalism in Spain has multiplied, specific studies on the birth of the main newspapers are still scarce. This research aims to provide unpublished data on the birth of the newspaper Las Noticias, in 1896. Its founder, Rafael Roldós, an advertising pioneer in our country, sees in this new headline a way to expand his existing businesses in the field of art and advertising. The beginnings of this Barcelona newspaper are marked by its rivalry with El Noticiero Universal, a leading evening newspaper in the city. The article reviews aspects such as the structure of the newspaper, its most prominent collaborators and the techniques it uses to boost its sales and retain its readers.
