1 gen 1888 anni - Father of Journalism

Descrizione:

On July 1, 1888, Lie. Rafael Reyes Spindola, who was later to become known as the father of modern journalism in Mexico, established at the national capital a daily newspaper, "El Universal." Like its great namesake of 1848, Spindola's organ was conservative in politics; but in journalistic theory and practice it was radical. The "gacetilla," or news section, was moved to the front page--a radical innovation. Spindola astounded the conservative papers by saying that a newspaper should be an institution, and promptly did away with all signatures to editorials and other articles.
