This paper analyzes the press control practices used by the provincial political powers of Entre Ríos between 1862 and 1870. This period was characterized by an increasing political dispute and the deepening of public debate. An indication of this process is the increase in the number of newspapers and the diversity of their political positions. Most of the newspapers were Federalists and supporters of Urquiza, but they maintained a space of discursive autonomy and what was published did not always go along the lines of the caudillo's interest. Also, there were Unitary and dissident Federal newspapers which were very critical of the provincial government and the figure of Urquiza. Respect for press freedom as a legitimating principle of the exercise of power prevented the development of legislation restricting that freedom and discouraged the practice of filing law suits for libel against publishers or journalist among provincial officials. Hence, the way in which political power managed to limit opinion was dominated by informal practices of political control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes Argentine news coverage of Nazi crimes during the period of liberation of prisoners from concentration camps, when Allied troops discovered the “atrocities” that had been committed in them. For this purpose, a corpus was put together of news articles taken from the four main Argentinean newspapers of the period: the morning papers La Prensa and La Nación, and the evening papers La Razón and Crítica. The analysis of these materials shows that the Argentine press consolidated an interpretive paradigm of Nazism as absolute “barbarity.” This type of coverage created confusion regarding the place specifically reserved for Jews in the Nazi system of destruction, despite the fact that the same press had been reporting on the systematic extermination of the Jewish populations in Europe ever since 1942.

The aim of this paper is to give an approach to the way the newspaper La Vanguardia, the official organ of the Socialist Party regarded the rising peronist movement and the general election of 1946. As a result of this electoral contest -the first one free from fraud since 1928- Juan Domingo Perón became a constitutional president of Argentina. This paper will analyze the attitude of the aforementioned newspaper towards the election, the kind of discourse as well as the arguments used to definitely favour the Unión « Democrática » and harshly criticize Perón and his supporting political and social forces. It has been paradoxical to verify how this political scene definitely divorced the mass of workers from left wing political parties - a process that Socialist leaders did not manage to revert - as a consequence of a wrong evaluation of what the Argentine working class of the time needed and desired. It was thus that La Vanguardia, born in 1894 as a « scientific socialist newspaper. Defender of the working class », ended up in 1946 sympathizing with interests that were not exactly the same as the ones workers pursued.

Con el objetivo de estudiar los textos periodísticos como actores políticos en contextos determinados, nos proponemos en este trabajo realizar una comparación de los argumentos difundidos por la prensa argentina y la prensa paraguaya con respecto a las causas de la Guerra de la Triple Alianza (1864-1870). Dada la gran cantidad de periódicos que se editaban en Buenos Aires durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, decimos focalizar el análisis en el periódico La Nación Argentina, principal intermediario entre las instituciones de gobierno y el conjunto de ciudadanos. Por idénticas razones, en el caso de Paraguay trabajaremos con los periódicos creados por el gobierno de ese país a lo largo del enfrentamiento.With the aim of studying the journalistic texts as key political actors in context, in this paper we propose a comparison of the arguments used by the press in Argentina and Paraguay regarding the causes of the War Triple Alliance (1864-1870). Given the large number of newspapers that were published in the second half of the nineteenth century in Buenos Aires, we focus the analysis on the newspaper La Nación Argentina, as the main intermediary between government institutions and all citizens. For the same reasons, in the case of Paraguay, we will work with the newspapers published by the government during the confrontation.

In the 1850's appeared an Afro-Argentinian activist press, which defended the black community interests. In this paper the author tries to evaluate if the Argentinians of African origin realized the full power of the written press as a way of spreading their ideas.Therefore, he explains the conversion of the Afro-Argentinians newspapers as political instruments.
