Resumen
PESANTE, Francisco J.. The Macheteros and the role of the press in the National Liberation Struggle in Puerto Rico. Media & Jornalismo [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.29, pp.112-118. ISSN 1645-5681. https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_29_7.
The following paper reviews the press coverage of the arrest, detention and prosecution of members of the clandestine Puerto Rican separatist group Los Macheteros. We emphasize the relevance of the independent press and political solidarity groups' defiance of the official stance against the anticolonial armed movement and the mass media reproduction of the hegemonic discourse. Pointing the authorities' interference with the right to freedom of the press. As well as pointing out the writter press value as a rich historical research reference.
