<meta name="DC.contributor.referee I" content="The article addresses an interesting subject that has not been treated by previous research on the Francoist press: the ideological interpretation made by the press of the events that took place during the so-called Prague Spring. To this end, the article has undertaken a comparative study between three newspapers, whose selection responds to the objectives of the study and is relevant in a case study. This approach is inserted into a well-defined historical, media, and scientific context. Throughout the study, the author reveals that the Spanish press expressed different viewpoints about what happened, showing the practical implications of the changes introduced by the 1966 Press Law. This research mainly helps to assess this law in the information context of that time, in which for the first time discourses with more ideological shades were allowed to circulate. In parallel, the discourse analysis highlights the evolution and positions of Spain’s political landscape in comparison to the convulsive international context.- Araceli Rodríguez-Mateos, Ph.D. - Rey Juan Carlos University."/>

<meta name="DC.contributor.referee II" content="This article presents the results of a qualitative research study on the treatment of the historical event called the Prague Spring in three Spanish newspapers. This work demonstrates, on the one hand, the form in which the Francoist regime affected what was published and, on the other, highlights the existence of interstices through which some fresh air could filter (although not without consequences). The article presents, clearly and fully, various aspects of the research and provides illuminating examples of the discourses used by the examined newspapers. The historical contextualization of the event is appropriate. Another outstanding and positive aspect is the methodological approach chosen to explore a subject hardly addressed in communication studies. The publication of this article is recommended. - Alejandra Walzer, Ph.D. - Carlos III University of Madrid."/>

<meta name="DC.description.abstract" content="Abstract: Choosing as key event the Prague Spring, bounded between January and September 1968, this article proposes a comparative analysis of three contemporary Spanish newspapers: El Alcazar, Patria and La Voz de Almeria. The study finds that the strong guidance of Franco regime was the basis on which the news articulated the reform process in Czechoslovakia and also his tragic outcome. However, despite of the absence freedom of expression, we have found in the approach of newspapers differentiating shades, demonstrating the existence of cracks through which new ideas surfaced. Although in many case they end up suffering the reprisals of Franco regime, it opens us new horizons for understanding the ambiguity and contradictions in the Press Law of 1966."/>
