Análisis de las fuentes y redacción de historia de la comunicación social en Pichincha período 1876 1894

Abstract

Abstract: The assignment looks for narrating in detail the Social Communication History carried out in Pichincha between 1876 and 1894, the time when press news groups were in a transition process, since the Conservative Party was losing the control on the Government after overthrow of Garcia Moreno. And the press experienced a freedom period. During Ingacio de Veintimilla's dictatorship (1878-1883), the press groups were silenced again. Meanwhile, Ecuador had three Progressivism governments, Jose Maria Placido Caamaño (1884-1888), Antonio Flores Jijon (1888-1892) and Luis Cordero (1892-1895), in these three last governments, the journalism won more freedom. This assignment put in evidence that Quito's society had a strong catholic feeling in their culture, besides the fighting between Conservative Party and Liberal Party, press groups were promoting the polemic between parties and had an ideological content more than an informative content. Besides, newspapers had more political and literary content; and most of them had a short life. There were just a few newspapers that left a great message through the history.
