The disappearance of the evening newspapers in Spain (1964-1999)
Abstract
In 1967, in Spain there were 32 evening newspapers. Little more than thirty years later they had disappeared. Some press companies looked for a rescue board in the jump to the morning edition. And they found it. Today, six headers survive from those that were founded to be read at sunset: Diario de León, El Adelantado de Segovia, El Diario de Ávila, Extremadura, Lanza and Última Hora. This paper derives from a doctoral thesis now expanded with novel contributions, such as the study of Lanza, a digital newspaper. The methodology used is based on the content analysis of newspapers, in qualitative interviews, in the collection of data in archives, libraries and newspaper archives, translated into the preparation of tables and graphs, and in the bibliographic review.
