Abstract

This article analyzes and interprets the Madrid press discourse on the autonomic process that was built in Spain between June 1977 and December 1978. The methodology is based on the qualitative content analysis of the publishers published by ABC, El País and Diario 16. The results of this research reveal that territorial decentralization was a recurrent theme in the Spanish press debate and that the three newspapers, based on different media constructions, played a crucial role in shaping a social attitude positive regarding the autonomic issue.
