Abstract

FERREIRA, Diogo; MARQUES DOS SANTOS, Paula  and  AMORIM, Paulo. The international news in the official newspaper of the Portuguese State (1715-1716 and 1868) - a source for the History of International Relations. População e Sociedade [online]. 2019, n.32, pp.157-181.  Epub July 01, 2022. ISSN 0873-1861.

This article analyses the news from foreign States published in the official newspaper of the Portuguese State, addressing two distinct moments that correspond to the inaugural and final stages of this type of news in the mentioned periodical: the Gazeta de Lisboa, in 1715-1716, and the Diário de Lisboa, in 1868. The main goal is to demonstrate the role of the Portuguese official newspaper, which over the years has assumed different titles, as a repository of news relating to other countries. The analysis of news content allows us to identify both the themes and States that appear most frequently in each of these moments, as well as the sources used and the style adopted in their writing. From the research produced, it can be concluded that the Portuguese official newspaper followed the evolution of the periodical press in the considered periods, regarding both the writing style and the concern with the accuracy of the sources, and that, due to the quantity and diversity of foreign news, it is a fundamental source for the study of the history of international relations.
