El oficio de periodista durante la Gran Guerra (1914-1918) ¿Un trabajo peligroso? Entre la innovación, la censura y el presidio

Abstract

The Great War (1914-1918) meant a process of modernization of the press and, therefore, of the journalistic profession at a global level. This development was also noticeable in regions such as the Basque Country and Navarre, where the media evolved in a very remarkable way, presenting typical features of the press of the mass society. This development was characterized by the use of new genres such as war chronicles and the use of new technologies, highlighting the cases of journalists linked to Euzkadi and Diario de Navarra. At the same time, it was accompanied by serious difficulties, especially the various forms of censorship, some exercised by the Spanish Government and others by the belligerent countries. This modernization will be analyzed by paying attention to the particular cases of journalists such as Imanol, Garcilaso, as well as to the repression suffered by numerous journalists, in particular aliadophile journalists.
