The Newspaper El Dia of the Canary Islands During the World War II, (1939-1945)

With this article, we have proposed to verify the information subsystem most unique of the Spanish state, the Canary Islands, the positioning of the Francoist press before World War II. To this end, we analyzed the editorial line of the newspaper El Dia, to detect specific features of the evolution of speech. Finally, research has revealed that, regardless of being subsumed in the central propaganda apparatus of the dictatorship, El Dia gave us an argument supporting the turn of the Franco regime in those tragic years too restrained for fear of antagonizing the watchwords for the distance, which, fleeing from the excesses dialectical other newspapers, reflects the process that made Franco away from Nazi Germany to the service of the United States.
