JOURNAL OF BARCELONA: 217-year history of the dean of the continental press

The Diario de Barcelona Notices and News was a periodical founded in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bSpain's oldest and one of the oldest in Europe. Its creation was due by the grace of the printer Pedro Pablo Husson of Lapaz, a Neapolitan who came to the court of Charles III in 1759. Drawing on foreign models, designed to combine an official journal of unofficial news. By granting the government permission for the first issue came to light on October 1, 1792.
In 1809 the Higher Council of Catalonia gave the privilege of this newspaper to a new owner, printer and journalist Antoni Brusi i Miravent (Barcelona 1779-1821).
Between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, in the pages of the newspaper picked up the controversy over the spelling and grammar Catalan among readers of the publication. Of special note the views of Josep Pau i Batot, which were instrumental during the Napoleonic government, between 1810 and 1814, first published in Catalan but always bilingual French, under the new name of the Govern of Diari Barcelona i Catalunya .

starting after the War of Independence, on June 6, 1814, the Journal recovered its former name, the owner was again Brusi i Miravent Antoni, who left the newspaper's management to their families for years after his death, hence since the Journal of Barcelona has been popularly known as The Brusi.
During the course of the nineteenth century, the newspaper adopted a monarchical ideology and liberal-conservative, a position that guaranteed a long continuity but also lost influence. The publication, like much of the press at the time, was Castilian, except for some poems in Catalan. However, the prevalence sociolinguistic Catalan at that time forced the writing team to explain the meaning of some English words.
late nineteenth century, the emergence of new newspapers such as El Correo Catalán (1876), La Vanguardia (1881), El Universal News (1888) and The Veu (1899), Journal of Barcelona was gradually losing its former predominantly due to this new and highly competitive. Parallel to the newspaper, also published annual almanacs and pamphlets, becoming the first mainland newspaper to publish stories and novels in installments.

Already in the twentieth century, during the decade of 1920 significantly changed the paper format, through to double its size and number of pages and adding photos for the first time, specifically an image occupying the entire front page accompanied by an explanatory caption, and that was related to a prominent news . Inside ads abound drawn from commercial advertising and posters of shows. During the regime of General Primo de Rivera established the Royal Order of 24 March 1924 Sunday forcing the rest of most newspaper publishers, so that Monday would come only some newspapers as the Official Provincial Road ( Sheet after Monday) and some issues evening such as El Noticiero Universal. Since then and over the next 58 years, the Diario de Barcelona would stop going out every Monday.
In late 1935 the format changed slightly by adopting a design that would remain virtually intact until 1960.
the outbreak of the Civil War, the July 19, 1936, Barcelona's Journal ceased publication and was seized and transformed into Estat Català party organ, published in Catalan by the guerrilla and journalist Marcel • lí Perelló i Domingo (Barcelona 1897 ? - Mexico City 1961).

Of the eighteen existing newspapers in the city of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bduring the war could only return four newspapers and El Mundo Deportivo. The Brusi never see the light until November 24, 1940, being returned to their former owners.
During the early postwar years, in the 1940's due to restrictions on paper, copies of newspaper had very few pages, with brief reports outlined in columns. In the second half of the decade the situation began to improve slightly, and it was not until the 1950's would return to their former volume. Since then, joined prominent op-eds and chronic Barcelona (called "Notes of a voyeur," "News of the city" and "Things such as") and is particularly known paragraphs written by the beloved city official chronicler Avel • lí Artís Andreu Tomàs i "Sempronius" . It also introduced its central pages of current graphic notes, some of Gradec taking into account that the newspapers of that time just took photographs inside. El Diario de Barcelona, \u200b\u200bdespite the inevitable connotations of commitment to the Franco regime, has always tended to offer as far as possible a more close and friendly towards the people of Catalonia, Unlike other newspapers.

Between 1961 and 1964 changed its format slightly and in 1965 it was completely going to have a large size paper with a new modern design of both the top and inside. Retained the same paragraphs of sections and opinion articles and notes graphs of the centrefold, but made significant and outstanding features, including thematic Sunday supplements were devoted mainly to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bCatalonia, economics, women, education, political and Art, among others. In dates of the year, appeared covers the first color image. Were the years of "development" and the newspaper, like most newspapers, speeches slowed even more patriotic devotion to the Franco regime and made a turn "localist" now more focused on the city of Barcelona and its region metropolitan, without abandoning the national and international information.
Since late Franco, had the audacity to be critical of municipal management, especially given the problems that the city suffered as a result of rapid urban development. Thus, unlike the English newspaper La Vanguardia, bourgeois clearly and openly sympathetic to the Franco regime, the Diario de Barcelona was ranked as the Journal of the middle and lower classes, taking a character "Catalan" and "left" to the extent permitted.

Mr. Santacreu in 1974 became the sole owner of the newspaper. Since 1977 the format changed again but this time worse, reducing its size and quality of losing that last 20 years. Were the beginnings of decay.
In October 1980 the newspaper ceased publication temporarily, but was rescued in 1982 by former employees it published in a self-managed, with a very poor format and bilingual (articles in Catalan and Castilian). The result was a failure and the Diario de Barcelona disappeared in 1984, was acquired by the city of Barcelona in 1985 and transferred to Zeta Group, publishers of the newspaper El Periódico de Catalunya, Sport and the sports magazine Interviu. Under this new editorial, completely renovated in 1986 reappeared with a new modern format entirely written in Catalan, under the name of Diari de Barcelona. Since then the Sunday supplements were outstanding, collectible fascicles which were books (such as the Barcelona the Brusi) and books devoted to the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, and that changed the design of the head.

In the same summer of 1992 the Zeta Group disposed of its publication due to lack of profitability, after several changes in the shareholding, the newspaper was briefly held by the ONCE, entity then disposed of their holdings by selling the symbolic price of one peseta brothers and Emili Carles Dalmau (Lleida editors of The Morning), which took control of the newspaper under a deal that saw the newspaper workers fraudulent. Then changed its name to Nou Diari and made different editions for each province of Catalonia. The declaration of insolvency of the Dalmau brothers left the number of payroll employees without pay or any compensation. It was not until 2007 that the courts ordered the previous owners of Diari de Barcelona to pay their old debts to workers.
finally disappeared as a magazine in 1994, and then the City of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich has always owned a small stake, bought the head and went on to be published as online electronic journal ( www.diaridebarcelona.com ) focused exclusively on providing daily news only from the city of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith sections on articles, videos, districts and general information. And had nothing to do with the classic newspaper. Since July 31, 2009, this site has been converted into www.btvnoticies.cat under the control of the municipal television station Barcelona Televisió (BTV).
