Abstract

In the transitional period from dictatorship to democracy in Portugal, the relevance of the media is undeniable. The media created political facts and were, themselves, at the centre of some of the most emblematic battles them fought.
In this article, we analyze the context of journals and the ways of practicing journalism in the revolution, particularly the case of A Luta, created in 1975. With close ties with Socialist Party, A Luta established unequivocally as advocate for democratic legality as a political route for the future of the Portugal.
