For democracy and freedom of expression: the struggle of the weekly Opinion against the constraints of the brazilian military dictatorship

Abstract

This article aims to minimally present the performance of the alternative press during the period of the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship, within the scope of the "Years of lead". This movement became known as a group of press organizations characterized by a position contrary to the mainstream press; an independent position and, in some cases, controversial, for certain social segments. We propose a research path for criticisms and denunciations of the dictatorial regime in the publications of the alternative periodical Opinion, also aiming, from that point on, to understand the scenario of censorship and repression against the press that took place in that period.
