History and profile edit

Diário da Manhã was first published on 4 April 1931 as an official organ of the National Union, ruling party of Portugal from 1932.[1][2] The paper was published by the Companhia Nacional Editora and was headquartered in Lisbon.[1] Major editors and directors of the paper included Domingos Garcia Pulido, António da Fonseca and Barradas de Oliveira.[1] José María Costa Júnior also worked for Diário da Manhã.[3]

In the early 1971 Diário da Manhã merged with another newspaper entitled A Voz to create Época which was launched on 1 February 1971.[1] The issues of Diário da Manhã were archived at the National Photography Archive, Portugal.[1]

Political ideology and content edit

Throughout its run Diário da Manhã acted as a mouthpiece of the Salazar regime[4][5] and was one of its propaganda outlets.[2] The paper adopted an anti-Communist political stance.[6]

In terms of journalism, Diário da Manhã was not impressive.[7] Diário da Manhã's editorials in 1934 attacked the university teachers and other educators serving at different levels arguing that they were left-wing activists, school demagogues and political party agents.[8] It was one of the supporters of the future Spanish ruler Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 1939[3] and was instrumental in improving his public image.[6] The Hungarian revolution in 1956 was frequently featured in the pages of Diário da Manhã which had a supportive approach towards the anti-Soviet forces led by Imre Nagy.[5]
