Las campañas propagandísticas de la España sublevada: los “entrefilets” de la Guerra Civil en “Diario de Burgos” y “El Castellano”

Abstract

One of the principal objectives of the anti-government forces during the Spanish Civil War was control over the communications media. Reduced to an ideological weapon at the service of the insurrectionists, official propaganda was published in press snippets -political slogans- in the Diario de Burgos and El Castellano, the newspapers of the capital of the insurrection in Spain. Their notable presence is observed through a quantitative, qualitative, and comparative analysis of the front pages. They reiterated the same themes directed both at winning the war and at indoctrinating the population and their publication was linked to the changing fortunes of the conflict.
