El Correo de Zamora. Religious Faith and Political Orientation of a Traditionalist Journal (1897-1916)

Abstract

El Correo  de Zamora was founded in 1987, its headline labeled the newspaper as traditional and Catholic. Both appellations marked its political and religious orientation. With this article we analyze its first twenty years of life, focusing mainly in the conjunction of political and religious interests that the newspaper had, until 1916 in which it lost its character of traditionalist newspaper, remaining since then like a Catholic journalistic project exclusively. The analysis of its pages will help us to know a little more about the traditional local press, the rooting of Carlism in a province like Zamora, the opinion of its leaders and its social and religious networks.
