Abstract

This paper analyzes the media coverage that the Spanish weekly press did of one of the key moments of the Spanish Transition to democracy: the appointment of Adolfo Suárez as Prime Minister by King Juan Carlos I on July 1976. This task will be carried out through a qualitative content analysis of the economic, political, and satirical press of the time. The aim is to approach the role of the Spanish weekly press to the process of political change, to find out the informative differences between the different period-icals we are considering and their positioning towards the appointment of the new prime minister.
