CENSURA VERMELHA: AS EMPRESAS DE JORNAIS PERANTE A GREVE DA IMPRENSA DE 1921.

- Abstract
This article is a study on a strike of journalists, typographers and distributors that took place in Lisbon in 1921. Culminating a tension in the past years, responsible for several strikes, this event stands out either for its longevity, lasting about four months, or for gathering workers with different social conditions. From the analysis of the coverage by O Jornal, informative organ of the newspaper companies, as well as by O Século and Diário de Notícias, the aim of this research is, firstly, to demonstrate how journalistic production fits into a strategy of struggle, namely by linking the strikers to the Bolshevik regime and to the exercise of a “red censorship”. Besides aiming at their discredit, establishing such relationship served to justify the repression of trade union activity. Secondly, the text identifies differences and similarities between the discourses conveyed by the daily newspapers, thus contributing to the reflection on the distinction between informative and political journalism.
