Abstract

In this work, we aim to present some of the Portuguese contributions to journalism theory, from 1644 (first work about truth and journalism) until 1974 (revolution and democracy). We will emphasize themes like: the freedom of the press, often legally constrained in Portugal; public opinion; the history of journalism; professional practice; and journalism teaching.
