From the military uprising early Sunday 19 July 1936 sparked a revolutionary movement. The military barracks were looted to make weapons, and the working class trade unions affiliated to set up a process of collectivization of worker-controlled enterprises and dismissing the former managers. Thus, the vast majority of newspaper publishers association came under control, except those that disappeared entirely. During the second half of 1936, the papers went to kiosks in the same format without quality and quantity would see altered. From 1937 began the restrictions due to worsening of the war, a situation that would spread throughout the year and throughout 1938. Copies began to reduce the number of pages and only focus almost all their national and international information on the situation of Spain during the Civil War. Only the advertising and sports and entertainment section of leaking a bit of politics, but not much because of the concerts and charity tournaments. Those notes daily newspapers dedicated graphics on their pages or on the central front and back, now they would only once or twice a week, usually on Thursdays and Sundays. The published images of war in sepia were shocking and extraordinary, becoming a graphic report unique. The decree was met off Sunday and Monday followed the Official Provincial Road as a substitute for the newspaper. Besides reducing the number of pages and photographs, paper quality and even dropped some newspapers have reduced their smaller size format. Were symptoms of decay due to lack of financial resources.
As Franco's troops were conquering territory, the newspaper editorials that were under union control returned to their former owners, but the Republican-leaning left or simply closed down. For example, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bLa Vanguardia on January 25, 1939 still was subtitled as a "service Journal of Democracy." After Franco's troops entered the city not issue any copy and on the 27th of January, the newspaper La Vanguardia was subtitled as "Diario the service of Spain and General Franco." On that day all the newspapers were allowed to re-edit under the conditions imposed by the new regime took a special edition of just two or four pages dedicated to the victory of General Franco. That date was Friday, and even the Official Road Monday took exceptionally a copy on the same day of the week, making a historical exception.
In short, the press published during the Civil War and the first stage of the war owes its uniqueness to the historical circumstances, which makes these papers appeared in a very difficult time in plants of great value, unique and unrepeatable because of the large difficulty of retrieving and because in very limited number are still there.
