Description

Two news periodicals witnessed the genesis of Portuguese journalism. They were the Gazeta nicknamed "of the Restoration" (1641-1647) and the Mercúrio Português [Portuguese Mercury] (1663-1667). Both emerged in a context of crisis. Portugal was at war with Castile after a group of conspirators orchestrated a separatist coup in December 1st, 1640, acclaiming D. João IV as King of Portugal, giving rise to the Bragança dynasty and ending the 60 year-period of dual monarchy under the Habsburgs and the Iberian union between Castile and Portugal. The onset of Portuguese news periodicals is closely connected to the resulting political, military and social conflicts, namely the "Acclamation War" and the "Restoration of Independence."
